Long-term care in Florida can top $10,000 a month. Our local legal team helps families across Tampa Bay and all of Florida legally protect their home and savings and qualify for benefits, before a crisis forces your hand.

Florida Medicaid rules are complex and constantly changing, and a single misstep can mean disqualification, penalties, or the loss of assets you could have protected. As local Florida attorneys, we stay current on DCF rules, the five-year lookback, and the exemption strategies specific to Florida law, and we have guided hundreds of families through the process with confidence.
From irrevocable Medicaid trusts to promissory notes and caregiver agreements, we use every legal tool available to protect your home, savings, and family legacy.
Already facing a nursing-home placement? We handle emergency Medicaid planning and can often protect a meaningful portion of assets even when time is short.
When one spouse needs Medicaid, the other does not have to lose everything. We maximize the community spouse resource allowance and income protections under Florida law.

Florida Medicaid reviews asset transfers made within the 60 months (5 years) before you apply. Transfers made in that window without proper planning can create a penalty period, which is why early planning matters.
Your home may be exempt while you are living, if you intend to return home. After death, Florida can seek reimbursement through estate recovery. An irrevocable Medicaid trust can protect your home from that process.
No. Crisis planning is still possible after admission. Options narrow with time, but an experienced attorney can often protect a meaningful portion of assets using permissible spend-down strategies and annuities.
Yes. When one spouse applies, the community spouse can keep a protected resource amount (up to $162,660 in 2026) plus the home and other exempt assets. We maximize every protection available to the at-home spouse.
