Protect Your Assets While Preparing for Long-Term Care

A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) helps shield your home and savings from nursing home costs-while preserving your eligibility for Medicaid. At Miller Law Firm PC, we help families plan ahead with clarity, compassion, and trusted legal insight.

Long-term care can be financially devastating if you don't plan in advance. Medicaid can help-but only if your assets are below strict limits.

A Medicaid Asset Protection Trust allows you to preserve the things you've worked hard for while preparing for future care needs. We'll help you set up a trust that aligns with your timeline, protects your legacy, and meets Pennsylvania's complex eligibility rules.

FAQs

  • What is a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust?

    It's an irrevocable trust used to move assets out of your name-so they aren't counted when applying for long-term care Medicaid benefits.

  • What can I protect with this kind of trust?

    Common assets include your home, savings, or investment accounts. We'll help you determine what makes sense based on your goals and timing.

  • When should I set one up?

     Ideally, at least 5 years before you expect to need long-term care. This helps avoid Medicaid penalties and maximizes protection.

  • Can I still live in my home after putting it in the trust?

    Yes-Medicaid rules allow you to retain residency even after your home is placed in a properly structured trust.

  • Is a Medicaid trust right for everyone?

    Not necessarily. We'll help you understand the pros, cons, and whether this fits your health, finances, and goals.
