Turner Law, led by attorney Robert Turner, operates from 160 Clairemont Ave, Suite 450, Decatur, GA 30030, specializing in asset protection and planning for nursing home costs. With people living longer due to improved healthcare, many face the challenge of needing long-term assistance during their later years. The firm addresses the staggering cost of nursing homes in Georgia—$5,000 monthly or more—which can quickly exhaust an average estate. Their asset protection strategies include purchasing long-term care insurance, creating trusts, transferring assets, planning VA Aid and attendance benefits for veterans, preparing for Medicaid eligibility, and establishing special needs trusts. The firm emphasizes that earlier planning allows for more asset protection, particularly given Medicaid’s five-year look-back period. Even in crisis situations when a family member is already admitted or needs immediate nursing home admission, their attorneys can implement strategies to protect at least some assets from long-term care costs.
