Sean W. Scott, Elder Law Attorney
Sean W Scott is a Florida Medicaid and Estate Planning expert who is here to help. Even though new challenges await as we grow older there are ways to solve these problems. Nursing homes, assisted living facilities, incapacity and the specter of mortality start showing up in our world as we age.
Since 1990 our focus has been to help our clients address these issues and avoid the financial ruin of long-term care expenses. We make sure that there is a back up person to act if incapacity strikes and to streamline the process of moving assets to beneficiaries after a death.
The most significant service we provide is to protect our client’s life savings from nursing home costs by helping qualify for Medicaid benefits. With the average cost of nursing home care in Florida above $10,000 per month we take action to keep you from being wiped out financially. A quick look at some of the eligibility issues can be found on the right.
You are our number one priority. Please see why we are different. And lastly, even though our main office is in Pinellas County, we help people all over the State of Florida qualify for Medicaid benefits and routinely use video and phone conferencing in place of face-to-face meetings.
