Most likely, you want to do both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say you have accrued a nice little nest egg. You don\u2019t really want to spend it all just so you can qualify for Medicaid\u2019s low asset limit. That doesn\u2019t leave anything for the kids or grandkids. But by truly understanding how Medicaid benefits work, you may be able to balance these two goals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting Help from the Start<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the keys to properly managing your money for yourself and your heirs is to work with an elder law attorney, who can explain the options available. Are you eligible for Medicaid benefits now? Could you become eligible by making minor adjustments? How can you navigate Medicaid\u2019s lookback rule?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s best to start planning as early as possible. That way there are more options available. It\u2019s never too late to make some kind of plan, but the longer you wait, the fewer options remain in play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t Skimp on Care<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While leaving something behind is a generous and unselfish goal, it should not come at the expense of your own care while you are alive. Get the medical care you need to live a comfortable, enjoyable life. Of course, depending on the specifics of your health situation, the right care could be quite costly. If you can qualify for Medicaid benefits to deal with some of these high costs, your overall financial picture will be easier to manage in the long run.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managing your money in your retirement years can be tricky.
