How do I qualify for Medi-Cal in California?
Medi-Cal has strict income and asset limits. We help you legally restructure assets to qualify while preserving your estate for family.
Will Medi-Cal take my house?
Medi-Cal can place a lien on your home after death to recover costs. With proper planning, we can protect your home for your spouse or disabled child.
What is the 5-year lookback for Medi-Cal?
Medi-Cal reviews asset transfers made in the 5 years before applying. Improper transfers cause penalties. We help you plan ahead to avoid lookback issues.
Can I protect my assets from nursing home costs?
Yes, with advance planning. Irrevocable trusts, asset repositioning, and Medi-Cal planning strategies can protect your estate. Start planning now, not when you need care.

Medicare is federal health insurance for seniors. Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program covering long-term care costs that Medicare doesn’t cover.
