He believes that estate planning and is one of the most interesting and civilized parts of the law. The vast majority of Americans have done no estate planning. Confusion and misinformation rule the day. He believes that he can be of service to others by educating the public about the benefits of estate planning and helping clients plan for their families and loved ones. Likewise, seniors have no idea that they have a need for Medicaid estate planning. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission are not allowed to give legal and financial advice with regards to qualification. Many spend-down needlessly because they don’t understand the rules. Bob “a retired army officer” recognizes the need to help our service men and woman, thus as a Veteran’s Benefit Attorney, Bob seeks to help our war time veterans who need financial help when facing long-term care.
