Tompkins Law is pleased to announce they can help their clients understand the new Medi-Cal recovery laws that recently were put into place. These laws govern the amount of time during which state institutions can recover repayment of benefits that were paid to an individual who passed away after January 1, 2017.
When an individual passes away, California law allows them to collect repayment of any benefits that may have been paid. For those who pass away after January 1, 2017, these rules have changed, making it more important than ever for individuals to protect their assets before this time comes. Tompkins Law helps their clients understand the specifics of this law so they can move forward to protect their funds. Because all money that goes through probate becomes available for this repayment, it’s critical for individuals to consider setting up a trust. This living trust will protect these funds and make them unavailable to Medi-Cal.
Tompkins Law takes great pride in helping their clients find the best ways to manage their assets and ensure their families get as much of it as possible after the passing of a family member. Limiting the amount of Medi-Cal benefits that need to be paid back can help alleviate more of the stress for families during this already difficult time.
