    Understanding the California Medi-Cal Transfer Penalty Rules

    April 2, 2022Medi-Cal Planning

    Los Angeles Medicaid planning attorney

    Although people often overlook it, an important component of a comprehensive estate plan is Medicaid (Medi-Cal in California) planning. The need for Medicaid planning stems from the increased risk that you, or a spouse, will require long-term care services at some point as you age. Failing to incorporate Medicaid planning into your estate plan could result in a costly waiting period because of Medi-Cal’s transfer penalties. To help encourage you to consider adding Medicaid planning to your … [Read more...] about Understanding the California Medi-Cal Transfer Penalty Rules

    Why Is It Important to Plan for Long-Term Care?

    February 4, 2022Medi-Cal Planning

    Los Angeles Medi-Cal planning attorneys

    A comprehensive estate plan will help accomplish several related goals. One estate planning component you may not have included in your plan yet is long-term care planning. Even if you are still relatively young, you need to think about – and plan for – the possibility that you or your spouse will need long-term care (LTC) later in life. To help you better understand, the Los Angeles Medi-Cal planning attorneys at Schomer Law Group, APC explain why it is important to plan for long-term … [Read more...] about Why Is It Important to Plan for Long-Term Care?

    Medi-Cal

    People frequently reach their retirement years having never needed to rely on Medicaid to cover their healthcare expenses, only to realize they must now do so to help cover the high cost of long-term care (LTC). Those same people are often operating under some common myths about Medicaid (known as “Medi-Cal” in California) that may discourage them from applying for help. To help prevent you from relying on incorrect information when faced with the need to pay for LTC care, a Los Angeles Medi-Cal … [Read more...] about Top 5 Medi-Cal Myths

    Can Relying on Medicaid Threaten My Estate Assets After I Die?

    December 1, 2021Medi-Cal Planning

    Los Angeles Medicaid planning attorney

    The likelihood of needing long-term care and the high cost of that care make Medicaid planning an integral part of the average estate plan. Understanding the need for Medicaid (known as “Medi-Cal” in California) planning, however, is only the beginning of formulating a successful Medicaid planning component. You also need to understand the often-confusing eligibility guidelines as well as how the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program could impact your estate after your death.

    Long Beach Medi-Cal planning attorneys

    Unfortunately, Medicaid fraud and abuse is a reality. It costs billions every year in diverted funds that could have been used for valid health care services. Because of this fraud and abuse, the cost of Medi-Cal coverage has increased needlessly. Another problem is the risk of harm to patients who are unknowingly exposed to unnecessary medical procedures for the benefit of fraudulent doctors.  Your Long Beach Medi-Cal planning attorneys can help you avoid fraud on your part. What is Considered … [Read more...] about What is Medi-Cal Fraud and How Can You Avoid It?

    Why Would You Put Your House in a Trust?

    March 20, 2019Medi-Cal Planning

    Medicaid trusts

    One important question we have been asked by clients is why they would ever need to transfer their residence into a trust? One of the most common reasons is to protect your home from estate recovery by Medi-Cal. If there is a Medicaid lien against your estate at the time of your death, then your heirs will lose your house. However, if you understand how to protect your home from estate recovery through appropriate Medi-Cal planning, you could avoid this unfortunate consequence. This article will … [Read more...] about Why Would You Put Your House in a Trust?

    Los Angeles Medi-Cal Planning for Future Hospice Care

    March 19, 2019Medi-Cal Planning

    Los Angeles Medi-Cal planning

    There may come a time for every family when a loved one might benefit from hospice care and a decision must be made how to pay for that.  The purpose of hospice care is to provide care, instead of a cure, for medical ailments. This includes providing end-of-life care, typically at the patient's home as opposed to a hospital or long-term care nursing facility.  In many cases, it will be the patient's friends and family who will serve as the primary caregivers and decision makers regarding the … [Read more...] about Los Angeles Medi-Cal Planning for Future Hospice Care

    Can Medi-Cal Take your IRA?

    January 30, 2019Medi-Cal Planning

    Medi-Cal planning

    A common misconception that many people have is that they can make themselves eligible for Medi-Cal by, basically, giving away their assets.  However, there are mechanisms in place that discourage individuals for doing just that. When it comes to IRAs, they are considered countable assets. But, there are Medi-Cal planning strategies that our Medi-Cal planning attorneys can provide to help you protect your assets while maintaining your eligibility.

    January 28, 2019Medi-Cal Planning

    Orange County Medi-Cal Planning

    If you are over the age of 65 and still relatively healthy, that is something to be happy about. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to consider Medi-Cal planning. Why? Because you never know if you might need long-term care at some point in your life.

    We need to update our Living Trust and attended Schomer Law Group’s seminar. Afterwards we made an appointment and were impressed by the attention Scott Schomer and Liran Aliav gave to our case answering all questions and making suggestions how to minimize the estate tax. All the office staff is very friendly and we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.

    We put off getting a trust for years. After attending a seminar with Scott Schomer we realized that the time had come to get a trust. We were given very good reasons for why we should get a trust. No pressure, just the plain facts. We are very relieved and happy to finally get our trust. Scott and Cesar were very knowledgeable, helpful and listened to our ideas of what we had to say. Any questions that we have now and in the future they are available to assist us to solve them. I recommend the Schomer Law Group and I wish we knew about them years ago.

    When you’re presented with an invitation to attend in a mailer, you may have reservations, this was a truly gift!! My wife and I were educated and guided through the process of creating a family trust.
    Both of our parents had attorney’s that “worked” with wills/trusts, but came up short. Fortunately, the Schomer Law Group was there! This is a group of attorney’s that only specialize in estate planning, law, and financial advice, so you know you’re getting expert and personalized advice. This is the best money we’ve ever spent!! Thank you!

    We knew we had to update our 10 year old ( 20 page ) trust. After several detailed meetings, Liran and Cesar produced a large ( 300 pages + ) highly detailed trust document that we have used to make sure our family estate is well managed and clearly understood.
    They were all very helpful in answering myriad questions and explaining all the various options…

    We would strongly recommend the Schomer Law Group to anyone with an estate of even modest means, to assure proper planning…

    We had contemplated updating our will and starting a trust for a number of years. After attending a talk by Scott Schomer we realized we were long overdue and the potential downside of not having our affairs in order was significant. Scott and his excellent team made the process simple and seamless. They were great listeners, addressed all our concerns and even pulled and processed all the paperwork from our financial institutions. If you are looking for assistance with estate planning, wills and trusts, we highly recommend Schomer Law Group.

    Mr. Schomer was excellent in getting our family trust and estate affairs in order. My husband and I had put off doing this and Scott really made the process easy! He is very passionate in making sure his clients get all that they need and we really appreciated it. I would highly recommend him and look forward to the many years he will be available to assist our family.
