A Life Care Plan drafted by Mary Ann Dalton places special emphasis on
issues surrounding long life. At the time of retirement or disability,
you stop earning wages and begin spending assets. These assets may
be the only means of paying for health care and long term care needs,
whether provided in your home or in a care facility. Mary Ann Dalton
can help you plan to afford long term care. Each plan has three
components:
1. Quality Health Care:
We draft a plan focusing on the well-being of you and your loved ones.
The plan takes into to account your wishes for the future and insure compliance
with state and federal laws.
2. Making Decisions: We
assist you in making critical decisions about your long term care and
special needs. It can be a big relief to know that your family has
a source of knowledgeable, objective advice and assurance. The plan
includes decisions about asset preservation, gifting and care-giving.
3. Benefits Qualification: We can help you assess
the long term care alternatives and guide you through the qualification
process for public benefits such as Medicaid.
Mary Ann Dalton can help you analyze your health needs
and financial situation and reach a clear understanding of the asset planning
techniques available to maximize benefits and preserve your hard earned
assets.
