Medicaid Questions

Medicaid planning is a big and complicated topic. However, Estate Planning Hub is fortunate that Elder Law Attorney Gabriel Heiser, who is an expert in medicaid planning, has provided us with dozens of great articles that will answer many of your questions. You can find links to those articles below.

Additionally, Mr. Heiser wrote a terrific book on the subject that you can find at Medicaid Secrets. (Yes, we receive a commission if you buy the book through that link; but we'd recommend it highly even if we didn't.)

Attorney Heiser is also willing to respond to individual questions from our readers. Of course, depending on how complex and fact-specific the question is, he may or may not be able to answer it fully. And, no information provided on this site, including any given by Mr. Heiser can be considered legal advice (see our terms of use). But, certainly the information he provides might be helpful for you to consider.

So, what are you wating for? Submit your question through this form and we'll be back in touch with you. Your question and Mr. Heiser's response will be posted on this site for others to benefit from as well.
