Protecting Your Family’s Assets from the Unlicensed Practice of Law


The Unlicensed Practice of Law (UPL) in Medicaid Planning is a significant growing problem. So much so, that both the Florida Bar and the Supreme Court of Florida have taken action regarding this area of concern. In 2015, the Supreme Court of Florida approved an advisory opinion to address Medicaid Planning activities by non-lawyers (No. SC14-211). The advisory opinion outlined what non-attorney Medicaid Planners can and cannot do in the area of Medicaid Planning. Furthermore, the Supreme Court of Florida affirmed that attorneys who work with non-attorney Medicaid Planners must have an independent relationship with the client, and attorneys cannot be directed by non-attorneys as to what legal strategies that can be used in a given case.

The Importance of a Properly Drafted Durable Power of Attorney Guide

 

Probably one of the most important legal documents needed by all seniors is a current Durable Power of Attorney (DPOA).  A current DPOA is one that meets the requirements set in the law on October 1, 2011. If you want Medicaid coverage for nursing home or assisted living your DPOA is one of the most important documents needed.  If your DPOA (not just a Power of Attorney but a Durable Power of Attorney) does not meet the requirements, one could have to go to court to seek a Guardianship instead which is an expensive and long process.

This book covers the subject of Medicaid in the State of Florida like nothing I’ve ever seen. My attorney said she was “going to write this book.” However, she was so pleased when I took it in for her to review. She said she would order at least 3 to use in her office.

My deepest gratitude to John Frazier for making this book available, especially for the elderly. A. Clawson

 

Dear Friend,

Did you know that in Florida, private-pay costs at nursing facilities can exceed $6,000 per month? Costs can total more than $70,000 per year. This life-changing reality has devastated thousands of families financially, wiping out in months what it took a lifetime to build.

Yet there often is a financial and legal solution to the high cost of nursing home and assisted living care that most people and many attorneys do not fully understand: The Florida Medicaid Program.

Isn’t Medicaid only to be used by the very poor?

Not at all. One purpose for this book is to reveal to you the opportunities that are legally available to you through Medicaid. With proper planning and attorney counsel, even those whose assets and income greatly exceed the limits for Medicaid may be able to qualify for benefits.

Protecting Your Family’s Assets in Florida walks you step-by-step through many strategies that you and your family can use to qualify for Medicaid assistance.

New Medicaid and Elder Law Information for 2012

The second edition has been expanded to include the most recent Medicaid law changes, including major changes that affect the Power of Attorney in Florida. In addition, I’ve added valuable new information about Veterans Benefits, alternative housing choices, how the Unlicensed Practice of Law can affect unsuspecting seniors and their families, and much more.

Here’s what’s inside:

Written in easy-to-read language, Protecting Your Family’s Assets in Florida is especially helpful because it gives real-life examples of the most common Medicaid scenarios faced by families throughout Florida. A glossary explains all the terms specific to both Eldercare law and applications for Medicaid in Florida.

This may be one of the most important books you will ever read.

We all face the possibility of spending our senior years in a nursing home. Impoverishment does not need to be the outcome. Don’t lose the powerful protections that are available to you through Medicaid!

To your prosperity,

John R. Frazier, J.D., LL.M., PLC

Concerned about what a lawyer might cost?

I make my legal services the most affordable in Florida. I do this by charging a flat fee based on the size and complexity of each case. We generally do not bill by the hour. Read about my sliding scale fees that are the clearest, fairest you will likely find.
