Planning Ahead Matters
Long-term care in New York can cost $15,000–$20,000 per month. Even home care can drain your savings without the right legal protection.
But the law gives you a way out.
By setting up a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT), you can:
- Protect your family
- Qualify for medicaid long-term care
- Protect your savings from out-of-pocket costs, spend-downs, and legal stress
- Stay in control of your assets
Medicaid is adding a 2½-year lookback period for Community Medicaid (home care).
The sooner you act, the sooner your income and assets can be legally protected — before it’s too late.

What Others are saying
FAQS
What exactly is a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust?
It’s a legal tool that helps protect your home and savings from nursing home costs — if done right and on time. It allows you to qualify for Medicaid without spending down all your assets.
How much does it cost?
Our Medicaid trust packages start at a flat $3,500. You’ll always know the cost upfront — no surprise bills.
What is the 5-year lookback, and why does it matter?
In New York, Medicaid has a 5-year lookback period for nursing home care. That means any transfers into a trust or gifts made within the past 5 years can create a penalty period.
The earlier you plan, the more you can protect. Starting before a crisis gives you the most options.
Is this only for people already in nursing homes?
No. In fact, the best time to plan is before you need long-term care. But if you’re in a crisis situation, we can still help protect what we can.
Can I do this remotely? I don’t live near your office.
Absolutely. We work with clients across New York — from Long Island to the Hudson Valley. Most of our process is virtual, and we make it easy.
Do you also prepare wills and powers of attorney?
Yes. We offer full elder law packages including wills, POAs, healthcare proxies, and more — so your entire plan is complete and coordinated.
