Our firm specializes in Elder Law with particular emphasis in California Medi-Cal Eligibility Planning, Medi-Cal Estate Recovery Minimization, Estate Planning, Probate and Trust Administration. We work closely with our clients to ensure that their assets are
protected and preserved according to their individual circumstances and goals.

There are three very important areas to consider in developing a comprehensive Medi-Cal plan:

1. Eligibility Planning - to qualify for Medi-Cal benefits;

2. Income Planning - to reduce or eliminate a Medi-Cal beneficiary's monthly "share of cost" co-payment; and

3. Medi-Cal Estate Recovery Planning - to reduce or completely eliminate Medi-Cal estate recovery against the beneficiary's estate.

Our office will carefully review your assets, income and estate planning documents to develop a comprehensive Medi-Cal plan tailored to your specific situation. We typically offer our clients several alternative strategies and thoroughly review each strategy with our clients so that they can make an informed decision regarding how they would like to proceed.
