Wichita’s Elder Law Firm for Medicaid Planning
When it comes to long-term care, many families in Wichita are caught off guard. The moment you hear, “Medicare won’t cover it,” the panic sets in—How are we going to pay for this?
That’s where elder law attorneys come in.
At Advanced Legal Planning, we help families like yours navigate Medicaid, protect their life savings, and ensure loved ones receive the care they need—without losing everything.
Whether you’re facing an immediate nursing home admission or simply preparing for what lies ahead, our team in Wichita is here to guide you with compassion, clarity, and experience.
What Is Elder Law?
Elder law focuses on the unique legal needs of older adults and their families, especially when it comes to:
Long-term care and nursing home planning
Medicaid eligibility and asset protection
Estate planning, wills, and trusts
Guardianship and incapacity planning
Special needs planning and elder abuse protection
In short, elder law ensures that your financial, legal, and personal needs are honored—now and in the future.
Why Medicaid Planning Is at the Heart of Elder Law
The average monthly cost of nursing home care in Kansas is over $8,000. That’s nearly $100,000 per year—and it can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings.
Wichita elder law attorneys help clients:
Qualify for Medicaid while preserving assets
Use legal tools like trusts, annuities, and caregiver contracts
Navigate the 5-year lookback period
Avoid penalties, delays, and denials
Ensure spouses and loved ones are protected financially
We provide Medicaid planning for both pre-crisis (early planning) and crisis (care needed now) situations.

How We Help Wichita Families
Every family we serve in Wichita has a unique story. Our approach is tailored—not cookie-cutter. Here’s how we help:
1. Legal Education and Strategy
We begin by learning your goals, concerns, and current financial picture. Then we educate you on your options, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Our attorneys create legal plans that align with Kansas Medicaid rules while protecting:
Your family home
Retirement accounts
Life savings
Income for a well spouse
Quality of life for your loved one in care
