Estate Planning to Protect Assets and Plan for the Unexpected

Estate planning is not just about distributing assets after death—it is also about protecting yourself and your loved ones during life, especially in the event of an unexpected health crisis. Without proper planning, families can face devastating financial consequences when long-term care becomes necessary.

Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia often require extended medical and custodial care. While many people assume Medicare will cover these costs, long-term care is typically not covered, and families are often forced to rely on Medicaid for assistance. Medicaid eligibility rules can place strict limits on income and assets, and prior transfers of property or funds may be scrutinized under the program’s look-back period.

Without proactive estate planning, individuals may be required to spend down assets before qualifying for Medicaid, putting homes, savings, and family inheritances at risk. In some situations, improperly planned transfers can even delay eligibility for needed care.

At Stadler Law Group, we help clients plan ahead to:

Protect assets from unnecessary depletion
Prepare for the possibility of long-term care
Address the financial realities of Alzheimer’s and dementia
Reduce the risk of asset loss due to Medicaid eligibility rules
Create clear, legally sound plans for spouses and loved ones

Thoughtful estate planning allows families to make decisions before a crisis occurs, rather than reacting under pressure. By planning early, clients can preserve assets, maintain dignity, and protect their family’s financial future.

Estate planning is the process of organizing your legal and financial affairs to ensure your wishes are honored during your lifetime and after death. A well-crafted estate plan helps avoid unnecessary confusion, delays, and family conflict while protecting those you care about most.

An estate plan may include:

Wills
Trusts
Asset distribution instructions
Guardianship designations for minor children

Stadler Law Group helps clients understand their options and create legally sound estate plans tailored to their individual needs.
