Important to good Medicaid planning are six words: THINK AHEAD. PLAN AHEAD. ACT NOW! Asset transfers made within the five-year Medicaid look-back provision can upset well-conceived asset protection plans that are delayed in their implementation. The time to put a plan in place is before a crisis. Until you act on a plan, it is just an idea and will have no effect for five years. The sooner a plan is implemented, the sooner the five-year period begins to run.
At the law offices of Rudolph & Bloodgood, LLC, we offer you decades of elder law experience. Our attorneys handle Medicaid applications and planning. We know these can be intimidating and confusing issues, but our team can help you make sense of it all.

We are often asked whether there is a difference between elder law and elder care. Technically, elder law deals with the legal aspects of estate planning. Elder care is more descriptive of the nonlegal aspects of taking care of people as they age. Because the functions of an ELDER LAW ATTORNEY frequently go beyond just legal matters, we are often referred to as ELDER CARE ATTORNEYS. In fact, clients frequently tell us that they found us on the internet by doing a search for an ELDER CARE ATTORNEY.
Our senior (over age 65) and super-senior citizen (over 85) clients are almost always concerned with three seemingly incompatible objectives: (1) How to pay for nursing home care if they are unable to continue living at home. (2) How to preserve their hard-earned savings so that if one spouse must enter a nursing home, the spouse who remains in the community is left with enough assets and income to live comfortably. (3) A desire to leave a legacy to their children and grandchildren.
At the law office of Rudolph & Bloodgood, LLC, in Riverdale, New Jersey, we know how complicated these issues can be. Attorney Michael Rudolph is or was actively involved in the lives of his father, mother and mother-in-law. His father lived three months past his 98th birthday. His mother-in-law lived almost to 95, while his mother is still alive at age 102. As a result, he has a keen insight into the importance of having a solid plan in place and being proactive rather than reactive.
Attorney Robert Bloodgood was not only involved with his parents and other family members, but assisted two of his elderly neighbors who lived well into their 90s. Robert understood the importance of having a secure plan in place for the future.
