MaineCare Isn’t Just for the Poor
Many people are surprised to learn that MaineCare (Medicaid) isn’t only for those who are poor or impoverished. In fact, most people who need Medicaid planning are middle-class or upper-middle-class families. These are people who worked hard, saved for retirement, and then discover the staggering cost of long-term care. Proper planning helps protect those savings while ensuring access to quality care.

Wills and Trusts

What Your Will Really Controls
A will lets you name someone to manage your final affairs and decide who receives your assets. But it only controls assets titled in your name alone.

Assets held jointly pass directly to the surviving owner — your will does not affect them.

    Wills and trusts have specific and quite different benefits for estate planning purposes. Each state has specific laws and regulations governing these legal documents.

Power of Attorney (POA)

Understanding Power of Attorney
A Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that gives someone you trust the authority to act on your behalf. This person, called your agent, can make important decisions for you and help protect your best interests.
