When you start facing an entirely new and difficult set of issues in your life, including Medicaid (Title 19) planning and disability planning, we are here to help.
The elder law experts at our Menomonee Falls law firm will work closely with you, your family, and your financial advisors to protect your Medicaid eligibility and put health and financial directives in place for your future care. With our knowledge of elder law and our vast experience with disability planning, estate planning, and Title 19 planning, we can help you secure long-term care without draining your assets.
Medicaid Planning (Title 19)
The rules relating to Medicaid (Title 19) eligibility are complex. The system is currently set up in a manner that requires you to use your available assets to pay for health care before you can qualify for Medicaid.
We believe that you should not have to choose between maintaining financial independence and qualifying for health coverage. Our elder law attorneys have extensive experience with Medicaid planning, and we can work with you to arrange your assets in a manner that will protect your Title 19 eligibility without forcing you to deplete your finances.
We have a variety of financial planning tools at our disposal to help you reduce your overall net worth so you are in strict compliance with rules for Medicaid eligibility. Depending on the current state of your finances, your health, and your estate planning goals, we can discuss asset divestiture options and a variety of financial planning strategies.
The advantage of working with the elder law attorneys at our firm is that we have been providing Medicaid planning services to individuals throughout the Milwaukee area for many years. We stay on top of the rules relating to Title 19 eligibility, and we offer asset preservation strategies that are both legitimate and time-tested.

Disability Planning – Wills, Trusts, and Power of Attorney
A serious injury, illness, or accident can leave you unable to make decisions concerning your health and your financial affairs. The best way to prepare for any kind of disability or incapacitation is to put legal directives in place that will clearly express your wishes.
The attorneys at our firm can assist with the preparation of advanced financial and health directives that will designate a trusted agent to make decisions on your behalf and/or clearly state your preferences in regards to everything from the management of your bank accounts to life-preserving medical treatment. We can also assist with the creation of wills and trusts to ensure that your assets are protected and transferred in the manner of your choice.
You cannot always plan for the unexpected, but you can take steps to ensure that your wishes are communicated to your loved ones. To learn more about our disability planning services, contact the elder law attorneys at our Menomonee Falls office, serving the Greater Milwaukee area and all of Southeast Wisconsin.
