We Help You With
Medicaid Planning

Protect your life savings while qualifying for Medicaid benefits with strategic planning designed to secure your financial future. Full Medicaid package starting at $5000.

What is Medicaid Planning?

Paying $12,000+ per month for long-term nursing care can drain a lifetime of savings in a matter of years. Medicaid Planning aligns your finances with New Jersey's strict eligibility rules so you - or a loved one - can qualify for benefits without sacrificing the family home or nest egg.

Our team handles the heavy lifting: verifying income and assets, preparing five-year look-back documentation, and filing the application from start to finish. We also map asset-protection strategies - such as irrevocable trusts, spousal transfers, or spend-down plans - so you keep as much wealth as the law allows. And if you've already been turned down, our complimentary Medicaid Denial Review pinpoints exactly how to appeal or re-apply for the best possible outcome.

When Do You Need Medicaid Planning?

The best time to plan for Medicaid is before you need long-term care, but crisis planning can still protect significant assets.

Here are the most common situations where Medicaid planning becomes essential.

Facing Long-Term Care Costs

When nursing home costs of $12,000+ per month threaten to drain your life savings and leave your spouse with nothing for their own care needs.

Protecting a Spouse

When one spouse needs care but you want to protect the healthy spouse from financial devastation and preserve assets for their lifetime.

Preserving Family Inheritance

When you want to pass on your family home and savings to your children rather than losing it all to long-term care expenses.

Planning Ahead

When you're healthy but want to prepare for future care needs by positioning your assets strategically while you still can.

"I cannot say enough positive things about Justin and his team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly patient and compassionate, guiding me through a difficult process with the utmost care and understanding. Every step of the way, they took the time to listen, explain things in a way that was easy to understand, and truly make me feel supported. Their professionalism, coupled with their genuine concern for my well-being, made all the difference. If you're looking for a team that is both knowledgeable and kind, I highly recommend Elder Legal Partners."

"Help has been given to me within the parameters of my ability to visit the office. In a senior assisted living facility there are many limitations that faced me in gathering documentation. A personal visit, phone calls and email has allowed me to begin my legal processes... for which I am greatly appreciative and relieved. All staff, regardless of my reaching out for help, has been kind, and attentive to my needs and stressors."

"Working with Justin Scott and his ENTIRE office was fantastic!! I worked with Justin regarding my mom, Dawn and it was such a helpful and stress-free experience. Justin completely eased our minds which in my opinion is PRICELESS!! I HIGHLY recommend Elder Legal Partners to both my friends and family. If I could give more than 5 out of 5 stars, I would."

"I would like to personally thank you for all the assistance you provided. For me you were a beacon of light to guide me thru a hectic and difficult time with professionalism, courtesy and kindness. When I received much well meaning free advice that lead me to many dead ends, your office not only gave sound advice, but also found an excellent place for Mom's final weeks. The trusts you set up and your guidance with settling the estate were most helpful. I personally cannot thank you enough."

"As a fellow estate planning attorney, I have known Justin personally for a few years. He is not only extremely knowledgeable in estate planning and elder law, but he is also very easy to have a conversation with. Let's be honest, many attorneys are arrogant, stuck-up, and make people feel uncomfortable. If anyone in this part of town reaches out for advice, I send them to Justin's office. He provides great advice without over-complicating things."

"Justin is not just a gifted practitioner of law, but he truly is an advocate for the elderly. If you want a dog in the fight for you, your parents, grandparents, etc., I can't think of anyone that stands in his league. Even though I wasn't seeking advice on medical care in my particular case, it was a pleasant surprise that he has authored several enlightening books on a variety of aging topics. I wouldn't hesitate even a second to recommend Justin and his team."

Jolene Schwartz

"Justin and his team are fantastic, pro-active and very knowledgeable. I spoke with 3 Elder Attorney's before meeting Justin who had the experience and know how that I needed. I was not prepared when my brilliant husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, but everyone at Elder Legal Partners was so compassionate and supportive, I am so grateful for their guidance."
