When you’re planning for the years ahead, elder law can feel overwhelming. At Pearson Bollman Law, we help clients across Iowa and Kansas navigate the complex rules around long-term care, Medicaid, VA benefits, and asset protection without the confusion.
Medicaid Planning: Protect What Matters, Qualify with Confidence
Long-term care costs in a nursing home or assisted living facility can quickly exhaust savings. That’s where Medicaid planning comes in to protect your assets while helping you qualify for the benefits you need. A few of the ways our team can help include:
- Explaining the Medicaid eligibility rules in simple terms
- Using legal strategies to protect what you’ve saved
- Assisting with the application and appeal process when needed
A clear, customized Medicaid plan can preserve more of your life’s work for your comfort and for your family’s security.
VA Trust Planning: Maximize Benefits for Veterans & Spouses
If you or your loved one is a veteran, you may qualify for Aid and Attendance through the VA, designed to help pay for home care or assisted living.
But the rules are strict. That’s why we help clients:
- Understand eligibility criteria and timelines.
- Navigate the financial limits, including asset and income thresholds.
- Use VA Trusts to structure assets so you can qualify without losing everything.
Our team streamlines the process. You focus on care, not paperwork.
Asset Protection: Shield Your Hard-Earned Savings & Family Legacy
You worked hard for your savings, your home, your independence. As you age, those assets are often targeted to pay for long-term care. We help you protect what’s yours.
Whether through irrevocable trusts, gifting strategies, or other legal structures, our team helps preserve your financial security while assisting you in qualifying for benefits when needed.
Each strategy is personalized, practical, and designed to keep you protected while living independently as long as possible.
Social Security Disability: When Illness Comes Unexpectedly
If an injury or illness limits your ability to work, claiming Social Security Disability benefits can be a lifeline, but the process is steeped in red tape.
We make it easier by:
- Explaining your eligibility simply
- Preparing your application clearly and completely
- Handling appeals if needed, so you don’t face delays or denials
If disability is impacting your life, let us help you fight for the benefits you are entitled to.
