Long Island Medicaid Planning Lawyer Seth Schlessel Releases Article on the Importance of Medicaid Planning
Feb 25, 2023
Long Island Medicaid planning lawyer Seth Schlessel (https://www.schlessellaw.com/long-island-medicaid-planning-attorney/) of Schlessel Law PLLC has released an informative article about the importance of Medicaid planning. In the article, Schlessel explains the benefits of Medicaid planning and how it can help individuals and families save money on long-term care expenses.
According to the Long Island Medicaid planning lawyer, “Medicaid planning is essential for anyone who wants to protect their assets and ensure that they receive the best possible care in the event of a long-term illness or disability. Medicaid planning involves a variety of legal and financial strategies that can help individuals and families qualify for Medicaid while preserving their assets.”
The Long Island Medicaid planning lawyer goes on to explain that many people are unaware of the benefits of Medicaid planning and often wait until it’s too late to start planning. He encourages individuals and families to start planning early to ensure that they have the best possible options for long-term care.
“Many people assume that they won’t need long-term care until they’re much older, but the reality is that anyone can experience a serious illness or disability at any time,” says the lawyer. “By planning ahead, you can ensure that you’re prepared for whatever the future may hold.”
In the article, attorney Schlessel also discusses some of the common misconceptions about Medicaid planning and addresses some of the most frequently asked questions about the process. He emphasizes that Medicaid planning is a complex process that requires the assistance of a qualified Medicaid planning attorney.
The lawyer further explains that in New York, Medicaid applicants for nursing home care are subject to a 5-year look-back period. This means that Medicaid evaluators examine an applicant’s financial statements for irregularities during a specific duration. The government can evaluate the applicant’s financial statements for any irregularities during this look-back period, which can significantly impact their Medicaid application.
Currently, the look-back period for Community Medicaid applicants in New York is 3 months, but it will be changed to 30 months. Any assets included in or transferred from the applicant’s estate during this specific time will be considered part of their estate.
“If you’re considering Medicaid planning, it’s important to work with an experienced attorney who can guide you through the process and ensure that your plan is tailored to your unique needs and circumstances,” says attorney Schlessel.
Overall, the lawyer’s article provides valuable information and insights for anyone who is considering Medicaid planning. By highlighting the benefits of early planning and addressing common misconceptions, Schlessel offers a valuable resource for individuals and families who want to protect their assets and plan for the future.

For decades, Hong Kong’s film industry has cultivated an extraordinary roster of female screen warriors, defying the city’s historically conservative gender roles. From 1960s icon Cheng Pei-pei – known as the “Queen of Swords” – to the globally recognised Michelle Yeoh, the city’s male-dominated studios have consistently given women the chance to fight just as hard as the men in their fabled martial arts films.
