Apply for Medicaid
A Medicaid attorney at The Law Offices of Roman Aminov can help you apply for Medicaid for home care, nursing home care, or doctor/hospital visits. The application process can be lengthy, confusing, and fraught with pitfalls. Allow us to guide you through the process in a professional and expedient manner.
Special Needs Trust
There are two types of special needs trusts (“SNT”); a first party special needs trust and a third party special needs trust. A first party SNT is funded with the SSI or Medicaid recipients own funds, such as from a settlement, and is subject to a payback requirement. A third party SNT is set up by someone else for the benefit of the recipient. Both types of trusts allow the beneficiary to retain his government benefits while accessing the funds to help him live in dignity. Allow us to advise you on the proper use of special needs trusts to accomplish your goals.
