planning ahead to accelerate qualification for Medicaid benefits when the need arises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Medicaid Planning must be tailored to meet the individual\u2019s needs.\u00a0 Every case is different.\u00a0 Some people own homes or have significant savings, either in the bank or in an investment portfolio.\u00a0 Others have interests in businesses or real estate. \u00a0Some have substantial income and others survive on Social Security.\u00a0 Some Medicaid applicants, or <em>prospective<\/em> applicants, are single and others are married.\u00a0 Some enjoy the support of family members and other do not.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Berwitz &amp; DiTata LLP offers Medicaid Planning to help clients structure their financial resources, create trusts, manage asset transfers, convert countable assets into exempt assets and protect the family home from potential Medicaid recovery.\u00a0 If there is a healthy spouse, we seek to ensure that he or she has adequate income and resources to continue living independently during and after the time when their partner is receiving care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Our experienced attorneys stand ready to consult with you and your family to develop a plan that will meet your individual needs.\u00a0 Our proven strategies of asset protection will maximize Medicaid eligibility.\u00a0 We will prepare, submit and present the <strong>Medicaid application<\/strong> and can represent you in hearings before your local Medicaid agency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"cmsmasters_row_67ab5ac448b02\" class=\"cmsmasters_row cmsmasters_color_scheme_default cmsmasters_row_top_default cmsmasters_row_bot_default cmsmasters_row_boxed\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer_parent\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_outer\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_inner\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_row_margin\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_column one_first\">\n<div class=\"cmsmasters_text\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Let us know how our attorneys can help you.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Call Us Now Berwitz &amp;
