Protect Your Blended Family!

Are you previously divorced? Has your child been divorced? Have children from multiple relationships? If you said “YES!” to any of the above questions, this is a MUST SEE video. Unfortunately, not every blended family gets along well. Drama is best for reality television, not real life. That’s why it’s essential to hire a qualified estate planning attorney to help you allocate assets, designate key people, and finalize your wishes today instead of leaving it to chance in the future. Think about the hard questions: Who gets what? Does each child inherit equally? Will you be buried next to your current spouse or prior spouse? Will a child serve as an Executor? Does s/he get along with siblings? Will you be buried in a family plot? Who else will be buried there? Will your spouse get to live in the house willed to your child? Have your policies and legal documents been updated since a divorce? If getting remarried, do you have a prenuptial agreement? Have you promised certain keepsakes to particular loved ones? All these questions can be resolved with the help of a licensed attorney at Rainey & Rainey. Enjoy this free legal video and contact us for more information at raineyandrainey.com.

Legal Q&A: How Long Does It Take to Apply for Medicaid?

The average nursing home stay can cost up to $200 a day. That’s a $6,000 monthly cost out of your pocket, not including services for extra medical or home care.

Medicaid can help pay those expenses, but the application and approval process can be lengthy and burdensome. The professionals at Rainey & Rainey work to secure Medicaid benefits for their clients on a daily basis. They’re experienced in the entire Medicaid Planning process and will walk clients through it step by step, form by form.
