Elder law and Veterans benefits
Whether it’s helping you obtain the monetary compensation you are due as a veteran, or preserving your assets in later years, we stand at your service as your legal advocates.
Elder Law
It is critical to work with an attorney who thoroughly understands Elder Law. Piercey & Associates, Ltd. can review and negotiate the assisted living or skilled nursing facility’s care contract, identify which assets are exempt from Medicaid, place assets into Medicaid exempt strategies, determine which Medicaid and care strategies are best fit for each situation, avoid a complete spend-down of assets, and restructure current assets to obtain the highest level of care at the lowest possible cost of care. It is not uncommon to save at least half (and sometimes all) of a client’s assets from the Medicaid spend-down rules.
Veterans Benefits
Many military veterans are not aware of all the benefits for which they qualify. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, eligible veterans can receive pensions for having served just months, not years, during a wartime period. Plus, surviving veteran spouses are also eligible for monthly pension benefits. Supplemental incomes like these often become the difference in the level of quality care required later in life. Piercey & Associates, Ltd. helps navigate the necessary qualifications and applications to ensure that veterans receive what they’ve earned for their valuable service to our country.
