Long-term care can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings. Without proper planning, assets you worked for — your home, investments, and other property — can be used to pay for nursing home care, leaving little for surviving spouses or heirs. Medicaid asset protection planning helps Delaware families preserve wealth while qualifying for the care they need. At Maven Law, LLC, we design clear, legally sound strategies tailored to Delaware law and your personal goals.

Why Delaware planning matters

• Delaware has its own rules and look-back periods for Medicaid eligibility and estate recovery. A one-size-fits-all plan designed for another state can fail.

• Proper timing and document drafting are essential to avoid penalties and ensure eligibility.

• Protecting assets while maintaining the right to live independently or be cared for by family requires careful coordination of trusts, income streams, and ownership structures.

What we accomplish for you

• Preserve your home and meaningful assets for your spouse and heirs

• Help you qualify for Medicaid benefits with minimal asset loss

• Reduce risk of probate, creditor claims, and unnecessary estate recovery

• Coordinate Medicaid planning with your overall estate plan, including wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, and guardianship provisions if needed
