Florida Board-Certified Elder Law Attorney Jason Neufeld launches a free webinar on Medicaid planning, asset protection, trusts, and avoiding estate recovery.
FL, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Elder Needs Law, PLLC announces a new webinar series hosted by highly-respected Florida Bar Board-Certified Elder Law Attorney Jason Neufeld, Esq. who specializes in Medicaid and Asset Protection Planning.
“Among the most frequently searched questions related to Medicaid planning and nursing home care is, “Can the government really take my house when I die?” states Mr. Neufeld, who continues, “ more often than not, Florida seniors take to online resources searching for answers usually once a spouse needs nursing home care.” For those wondering, according to Jason, the answer is no, however, understanding what can and cannot be recovered by Medicaid can mean the difference between preserving a family home and losing it to the state’s Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (MERP).
This question and many others is why during this webinar, Jason will cover the full scope of Florida’s Medicaid planning landscape, with a central focus on estate recovery.
What You Will Learn
• How Florida’s Medicaid Estate Recovery Program works and exactly which assets it can and cannot reach
• Crisis planning strategies for families already facing a nursing home placement
• Community Spouse Resource Allowance, Medicaid-compliant annuities, and permissible spend-down options
• How Irrevocable Medicaid Trusts, Lady Bird Deeds, and enhanced life estate arrangements legally remove the home from expensive and lengthy probate — and from MERP’s reach
• Why assets held in a properly structured trust, jointly titled, or passing through beneficiary designations are invisible to estate recovery
• The 5-year lookback period: what triggers a penalty and what transfers are completely safe
• The Florida Homestead exemption: what it protects during life and what it does not protect after death
Who Should Attend
• Florida homeowners age 60-80 with a primary residence and no existing trust
• Adult children managing a parent’s care crisis and concerned about losing the family home
• Spouses whose partner has recently entered or is about to enter a nursing facility
Any Florida senior with assets looking to plan ahead
