Brewster Park Sits in a Neighborhood Full of Longtime Owners
Brewster Park is surrounded by homes that have stayed in the same family for decades. A lot of folks here own their homes free and clear, which changes how Medicaid planning works. We've met with clients near the park who are worried about losing a paid-off house to nursing home costs. That worry is fair, and it's fixable with the right trust or deed. We often meet with families here to talk through Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts, powers of attorney, and guardianship questions. Ice storms and summer heat waves bring urgent calls. Falls and heat-related health scares happen often. These events usually spark these important conversations.
