Rountree's Older Homes Shape How We Plan
Rountree is one of Springfield's oldest neighborhoods. Many homes here were built between the 1920s and 1950s, with narrow doorways and steep stairs. That layout makes aging in place harder. We often talk with clients about life estate deeds or home modification planning. A lot of folks here also own their homes outright, paid off after decades. That's a big factor in Medicaid asset protection planning. We've sat at kitchen tables near Hartman Park. We explained the five-year lookback to adult children.
