Non Lawyers are working for the nursing home, and they typically want you to spend down your assets privately paying the nursing home. They cannot provide legal advice to you and as a result will not provide what lawful asset-protection strategies are available to protect your assets. Further, without legal planning, if there is a Medicaid penalty period assessed and/or an unpaid nursing home bill not covered by Medicaid benefits even after the non-lawyers obtain Medicaid benefits for you, you are on your own and, in many cases, a lawsuit will be commenced by the nursing home for the unpaid bill.
