As We Age

Even with the knowledge that our life span is increasing, many of us will encounter chronic or debilitating illness in our final years. While these medical challenges can change our lives dramatically in the physical sense, they can also wreak havoc in our financial lives if we haven't taken the appropriate measures to safeguard our wealth.

Nursing homes today can cost as much as $120,000 per year in the New York City area or more, and a long-term stay can easily impoverish all but the wealthiest families.

With proper planning, however, you can shelter assets and keep your family's wealth intact. Keep in mind, that since there is no "one size fits all" solution, a careful analysis of your situation by a competent legal advisor is your best route for incapacity planning.

We help clients legally qualify for government medical benefits and ensure that their assets are preserved for themselves and their families, instead of having their nest eggs being wiped out due to long term care costs and expenses.

Call our office for a free consultation. We offer comprehensive and personalized long term care / Medicaid planning consultations. Please call us at (718) 793-7000 or visit us online at www.davidovlaw.com.
