Asset Protection Planning for Seniors

Elder law attorney Michael Babiarz walks older Americans and their families through nursing home costs, Medicaid planning, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and inheritance strategies in a conversational style that doesn't require a law degree to follow. His real-life client examples make abstract legal concepts feel concrete and human, and his credentials — including chairing the ABA Committee on Elder Law — give the guidance authority. This is the kind of book adult children often wish they had discovered before a health crisis arrived. The honest caveat is that Medicaid rules and tax law change, so some specifics may be dated; treat it as a foundation and verify current rules with a local attorney. A genuinely useful starting point for elder planning conversations.
