We Explain The Medicaid Process

Lawyer Bonnie M. Benson can sit down with you and explain how the Medicaid process works, take a careful look at your financial situation and help you understand how to qualify for Medicaid.

If you plan your estate far enough in advance, there may be ways through our variety of planning tools and by using trusts to preserve your assets prior to any need for Medicaid.

Special Miller Trust To Qualify For Medicaid

A Miller trust or assigned income trust is a type of trust that qualifies a Medicaid applicant for Medicaid if he or she has too much income. Eligibility revolves around your level of assets, income and medical need. A Miller trust funnels income of the applicant into the trust and then apportions out living expenses to the trustee.
