Long Term Care Planning

Medicare does not cover most long term care services so working with an Elder Law Attorney will help you prepare for how to get finances in order and what to expect during this phase of life. At Joseph L. Motta Co., we consult and help prepare our clients for this phase with strategies and estate planning tools to help with long term care.

The rules governing Medicaid in Ohio are extremely complex and have undergone substantial changes in the last few years. Effective Medicaid planning strategies can ensure assets remain in your estate to pass on to next generations.
