Medi–Cal/Estate Planning for Long Term Care Attorneys


These attorneys will be able to help you with your Medi–Cal planning, as well as with any other estate planning concerns.

The Need for an Experienced Attorney

When an individual is interested in Medi–Cal and long term care estate planning, it is important to work with an attorney who is experienced in the field. For over twenty years CANHR has been training attorneys to navigate the intricacies of the laws and state regulations pertaining to Medi–Cal and long term care in California. Individuals who do not use the services of qualified attorneys, or worse yet, use the services of "non–attorney professionals" thinking they will save money, often find themselves with ineffective Medi–Cal plans or purchasing unsuitable products.
