Helping people throughout the Hudson Valley understand Advance Directives and Medicaid Eligibility

Many people wait until care is needed before taking action to preserve their assets and plan for their care. The sooner you work with an attorney, the more options will be available to you.

Our firm helps individuals and families throughout Columbia County and the Hudson Valley take proper steps to protect their assets and prepare for long-term care. Our years of experience in handling all aspects of estate planning provides the foundation upon which our firm can advise you and your family regarding these difficult issues.

At Flint Law Firm, we are routinely called on to help people qualify for Medicaid.

In order to qualify for Medicaid, an individual cannot own assets or receive income above certain levels. These calculations are governed by federal and New York state law and are complex. Certain methods of transferring your assets, such as gifts to loved ones, may actually delay your Medicaid eligibility.
