The range of options available to a client planning for long-term care depends not only on their health, assets and family dynamics, but also timing. Pre-planning opens up a world of asset protection options, but even a proactive client may choose poor options. Planning for the worst case scenario should take into consideration spousal health and financial needs for years to come, the planning (or lack thereof) of other members of the family, and the tax implications of all decisions, particularly those involving real estate. Practical considerations can impact the ability to plan, such as family dynamics, inability or unwillingness to gather application materials, or lack of good communication among the family and with the attorney, all of which may lead to a family's dissatisfaction with representation.
