We went to see Judd Matsunaga at Elder Law Services of California a few years ago, as our closing attorney for our new home. It was pretty much like sitting down with my dad. Sandy and I felt really comfortable with Judd. Recently we realized that our wills were not complete and Judd Matsunaga made this a quick and simple process. We are currently working with Judd on Asset Preservation for our children. Judd makes all of this seem so simple and we have enjoyed all of our meetings with him.

I was referred to Judd Matsunaga for my estate planning needs and I can honestly say that I have been very satisfied with his advice and work product. The people at the Elder Law Services office were a pleasure to work with. I am presently referring another client to Judd Matsunaga without hesitation. Not only did Judd complete my estate planning needs for a very reasonable fee, he referred me to a financial planner that I will be using.

Medi-Cal Planning is about asset preservation. The high costs of nursing home care have been the cause of many middle-income families losing their homes and life savings. With Medi-Cal planning, those families could have preserved their major assets and could have had their nursing home bills paid for by Medi-Cal.
Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid health care payment program. It is funded jointly by the state and federal governments. Medi-Cal is designed to pay for the medical care of those California residents who have very limited income or resources. However, with some planning, people in the middle-income tax brackets can qualify as well. Medi-Cal planning is complicated and often times the rules are updated each year. There are many rules governing which assets a person can keep, which assets can be transferred and to whom, and how much can be transferred at one time. If Medi-Cal Planning is done incorrectly, then it could lead to a period of ineligibility or disqualification. Elder Law Services of California has expert elder law attorneys available to provide you with a free consultation if you or a family member are considering applying for Medi-Cal.

Some people are able to pay for long-term care out of their own funds while others were able to get long-term care insurance before they became ill. Unfortunately, most people who need long-term care have already become ill and as a result can no longer obtain long-term care insurance. They are also unable to pay for the cost of long-term care themselves without depleting all of their life savings and having to sell their other assets, including the family home. People who find themselves in these circumstances are forced to look to public benefits programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, for help.
