Kansas and Missouri Medicaid Planning & Division of Assets
As life expectancies and long term care costs continue to rise, the challenge quickly becomes how to pay for these services. Many people cannot afford to pay $5,000 per month or more for the cost of a Kansas or Missouri nursing home, and those who can pay for a while may find their life savings wiped out in a matter of months, rather than years.
Fortunately, the Kansas and Missouri Medicaid Programs are there to help. In fact, in our lifetime, Medicaid has become the long term care insurance of the middle class. But the eligibility to receive Medicaid benefits requires that you pass certain tests on the amount of income and assets that you have.
| The reasons for Medicaid planning are simple. First, you need to provide enough assets for the security of your loved ones -- they too may have a similar crisis. Second, the rules are extremely complicated and confusing. The result is that without planning and advice, many people spend more than they should and their family security is jeopardized. |
