Why a Power of Attorney Is Critical for Medicaid Planning

A Power of Attorney is one of the most important legal documents your family can have when a loved one needs long-term care.

A properly drafted Power of Attorney is often essential for completing the Medicaid application process, managing long-term care admissions, and making important financial and legal decisions on behalf of a loved one.

In the full video, you'll learn:
✔️ Why Powers of Attorney are critical during Medicaid planning
✔️ How they help with Medicaid applications
✔️ Why they're often needed for nursing home admissions
✔️ Where families can turn for legal guidance and care placement assistance

Navigating long-term care doesn't have to be overwhelming. With the right legal planning and support, you can move forward with greater confidence.

Building your foundation. Building your confidence.

One of the greatest gifts you can leave your family isn't measured in dollars. It's clarity. When your Estate Plan and beneficiary designations all work together, your loved ones are less likely to face confusion, delays, or difficult decisions during an already emotional time. Estate Planning isn't only about protecting your assets - it's about protecting the people you love.

If it's been a few years since you've reviewed your Estate Plan, we'd love to help make sure everything is still working exactly as you intended.

Read our latest blog to learn the common mistakes to avoid and how to keep your Estate Plan working the way you intended. https://cornerstonelegalpllc.com/common-beneficiary-designation-mistakes-that-can-undo-your-entire-estate-plan/

What does it look like to build a career around communication, connection, and helping others find their voice?

In Episode 15 of Built in the 517, I sit down with Carrie Rathbun Hawks, APR, owner of Rathbun Public Relations.

Carrie shares how more than three decades in public relations have taught her about the importance of relationships, and why good communication starts with listening and understanding your audience.

But Carrie’s story has also grown beyond PR.

Today, she is an ATHENA-Certified Facilitator with a passion for helping women become more confident and authentic leaders. Through ATHENA Leadership Circles, Carrie helps women better understand their individual leadership styles while exploring the eight principles of ATHENA leadership.

She hopes that women walk away feeling more confident in themselves, better equipped to advocate for themselves and others, and reminded that they can make it through the challenges in front of them.

Carrie is also offering 10% off registration for one of her Being ATHENA Leadership Circles to those who heard about the opportunity through Built in the 517. Contact Carrie and mention the podcast to learn more.

There is so much in this conversation about building a business, building relationships, believing in yourself, and helping others grow along the way.
