A common misconception is that you must spend all of your assets before qualifying for Medicaid.

In reality, there are legal planning strategies that can help protect assets while still meeting eligibility requirements.

Understanding these options early can make a significant difference for families navigating long-term care decisions.

What are our attorneys reading outside the office?

Kristin Steckbeck, a former literature major, always has a few books in progress, but here are two recent favorites that stood out.

🎧 Slow Horses by Mick Herron

A fast-paced British spy novel that Kristin recently finished on audiobook. With sharp writing and engaging characters, it is the kind of story that keeps you coming back for the next installment.

πŸ“– Raising Hare: A Memoir by Chloe Dalton

A thoughtful and reflective memoir that offers a quieter perspective, focusing on connection, care, and the unexpected lessons found in everyday experiences.

At Dale, Huffman & Babcock, we know that good planning requires both attention to detail and a broader perspective, something great books often help us develop.

Have you read either of these?

Or do you have a recommendation Kristin should add to her list?

We would enjoy hearing what is on your reading list.

Estate planning is not just about documents. It is about ensuring your wishes are carried out and your family is supported.

A comprehensive plan typically includes a will or trust, powers of attorney, and long-term care considerations.

Taking these steps now can provide clarity and confidence for the future.
