Lance D. Like recently attended the WealthCounsel annual conference in Chicago.  This was a 3-day event covered a variety of estate and elder law topics.  Some of the sessions included planning for physicians and dentists, special trust techniques in Medicaid planning cases, planning for clients with MS, pitfalls to avoid when planning for VA benefits, as well as the latest news on the federal estate tax. 

This course covered a detailed analysis of the Medicaid laws and the latest techniques available to planners to help their clients plan for, and pay for, long-term care.  The participants learned the legal and approved planning opportunities to help married couples protect their home and hard-earned assets while still getting the care for their spouse that they deserve.  Through the use of special asset protection trust and other techniques the participants learned how clients can maintain protection over their assets and protect them against the high cost of long-term care.
