Comprehensive Wisconsin Asset Protection Strategies for Seniors
Wisconsin seniors face unique financial challenges that threaten decades of careful saving. Nursing home costs averaging $9,125-$12,000 monthly can rapidly deplete retirement funds, while complex Medicaid regulations create a maze of financial obstacles. Refi Trust offers strategic asset protection solutions designed specifically for Wisconsin residents.
Protecting Your Life Savings from Healthcare Costs
The financial impact of long-term care can be devastating to Wisconsin families:
- Average nursing home cost: $9,125-$12,000 monthly
- Typical stay: 2-3 years ($219,000-$432,000 total cost)
- Home healthcare: $4,500-$6,000 monthly
- Assisted living: $4,300-$5,800 monthly
Without proper planning, these expenses can quickly consume a lifetime of savings. Traditional options like long-term care insurance have become increasingly expensive and difficult to qualify for, especially for those over 60.
Our comprehensive approach helps Wisconsin seniors create a financial shield against these costs through strategic asset reallocation and protection measures tailored to their specific situation.
Strategic Asset Reallocation for Wisconsin Seniors
Effective asset protection requires understanding which of your assets are vulnerable and which can be protected through strategic restructuring:
Vulnerable Assets in Wisconsin
- Cash and bank accounts over $2,000 ($3,000 for couples)
- Investment portfolios and retirement accounts (with limitations)
- Secondary properties and rental real estate
- Cash value life insurance (countable over $1,500)
- Vehicles beyond primary transportation
Protected Asset Categories
- Primary residence (up to $713,000 equity)
- Personal belongings and household goods
- Irrevocable funeral trusts (up to $15,000 immediately)
- Specific annuities meeting Medicaid requirements
- Spousal resource allowances (up to $148,620)
Our zero-fee asset protection consultation identifies your specific vulnerabilities and develops a customized reallocation strategy to shield your wealth while maintaining financial security.
