Irrevocable Asset Protection Trusts
A properly designed trust can move assets out of your countable estate for long-term care purposes while preserving your income and control over daily life.

Guarding what took a lifetime to build.
Free initial consultation — no cost, no obligation.
At Massar Elder Law, we help clients understand both the potential benefits and the limitations of asset-protection planning.
Real Estate Protection
We help clients protect the family home — often the largest asset — through trust ownership, life estates, and coordinated titling.
Business Succession
For owners of closely held businesses, we integrate buy-sell agreements, entity structuring, and estate planning into one cohesive plan.
Creditor & Liability Planning
Layered structures that respect state and federal law while insulating personal wealth from professional and personal liability.
The timing question
Because Medicaid uses a five-year look-back for most asset transfers, the earlier a plan is put in place, the more options are available. Meaningful protection is still possible in a crisis — but the tools are narrower.
A note on control
Clients often worry that protecting assets means losing access to them. A well-drafted trust preserves income streams, home occupancy, and family distributions — the goal is protection, not deprivation.
