Protecting Michigan Families, Homes, and Savings
Medicaid planning is critical when facing the high cost of long-term care. Without proper planning, families can see a lifetime of savings depleted in a matter of months. At The Nakisher Law Firm, we guide clients through the Medicaid eligibility process — helping protect assets, preserve dignity, and avoid costly delays or denials.
Our Medicaid planning services are led by a Certified Medicaid Planner™ (CMP™) — a nationally recognized credential representing advanced expertise in Medicaid eligibility, long-term care planning, and asset preservation. With certified guidance, families protect more, move faster, and avoid costly denials.
Your Ally in a Crisis
We assist individuals and families with:
- Crisis Medicaid planning and pre-planning
- Asset transfers and spend-down strategies
- Income and resource limit evaluations
- Irrevocable funeral contracts and gifting rules
- Medicaid-compliant annuities
- Application preparation/filing and follow-through with DHHS
- Avoiding common mistakes that lead to denials
Whether you're planning ahead or already in a nursing facility, we offer fast, compassionate support that gets results.
Why Medicaid Planning Matters
A single mistake on an application—or waiting too long to apply—can cost a family tens of thousands of dollars. We work closely with families, caregivers, POAs, and facility staff to ensure applications are timely, accurate, and strategically planned to protect as much as the law allows.
