Attorney Anthony Celaya provides specialized Medi-Cal planning and elder law services at Celaya Law, 1455 1st St, Suite #216, Napa, CA 94559. His practice focuses on helping clients prepare for potential long-term care needs while protecting hard-earned wealth. Without proper planning, nursing home costs can quickly deplete life savings, which is why Celaya emphasizes Medi-Cal planning as a critical component of elder law. The firm guides clients through the complex Medi-Cal eligibility process, explaining how joint federal-state programs provide healthcare benefits to people 65 or older with strict limits on assets and income. Many middle-class individuals can qualify for these benefits with proper planning. Celaya Law utilizes several strategies to help clients qualify for Medi-Cal, including spending down assets through prepaying expenses like funerals, home repairs, or mortgage payoffs; transferring assets to irrevocable trusts; and establishing immediate annuities with insurance providers. The firm emphasizes the importance of acting quickly due to the 60-month look-back period for asset transfers. Call (707) 492-3112 for a consultation on protecting your wealth.
