Helping People Become Eligible for Medicaid Benefits Using OBRA Trusts

The requirements for Medicaid assistance are becoming increasingly strict. If you do not take steps to protect yourself, you may be required to contribute almost all of your assets to pay for health care before you become eligible for any governmental assistance.

Even if you will eventually spend time in a nursing home, asset protection may be possible. One way to avoid the depletion of your assets is through an OBRA special needs trust. Using an OBRA trust - also known as a Medicaid payback trust - can ensure that you will be eligible for Medicaid assistance.

Attorney Carol A. Nolan has extensive experience preparing OBRA trusts as part of her Medicaid planning practice.
