Learn moreWhat kind of Medicaid help do you actually need?
Some families need a plan and someone to run the process. Some need legal documents drafted. Some just need a pointer in the right direction. Here is how to tell them apart, and where LiFEC fits.
A Medicaid planning partner (this is us)
Best when you want one team to assess eligibility, build the strategy, protect the home and savings, prepare and file the application, and set up the actual care.
You get a plan and a guide from start to finish. Because we work alongside an experienced elder-law attorney at a partner law firm, the legal piece does not get handed off to a stranger.
An elder law attorney alone
Best when you only need specific legal documents drafted and nothing else, and you are comfortable managing the Medicaid application and the care setup yourself.
A free Medicaid navigator or local office
Best for basic enrollment questions and general direction. They will not build a protection strategy, prepare a full asset-protection plan, or coordinate your care.
Most families come to us because they do not want to stitch those three together under pressure. We are the planning partner with an experienced attorney already at the table.
