Irrevocable Trusts
Kitzke & Canfield uses many strategies to advance client rights and entitlements. When encountering the rising costs of nursing care, the last remaining weapon is an irrevocable trust. While this advanced technique may be intimidating, our team will walk you through the complexities of the system to help preserve your assets for your family. Our team has helped thousands of families navigate treacherous long-term care issues including Medicaid eligibility and estate recovery.
Medicaid Planning Assistance
Applying for Medicaid can become complex. Our attorneys can assist you with everything from collecting need documents to reworking your financial assets to preserve your Medicaid eligibility. We can also help you if you have a spouse requiring different long-term care needs from your own.
Estate Planning for Family Limited Partnerships (FLPs)
Family Limited Partnerships are business arrangements where family members pool their resources to run their business, with each family member buying units of shares of the business. These arrangements can provide many estate and gift tax advantages. However, due to the complexities of FLPs, it is strongly advised to consult with our qualified estate law attorneys to assist in setting up your Family Limited Partnership.
Incorporating Charitable Giving in Your Estate Plan
You can stipulate gifts to charity with your will or with specialized trusts. Our attorneys can help you set up a charitable lead trust to pay a specific charitable cause during your lifetime while preserving your assets for your named beneficiaries. We can also assist with creating a charitable remainder trust, which will pay your beneficiaries while giving a portion of those payments to your chosen charities.
