Description

This webinar aims to arm attorneys who have limited knowledge of ALTCS (Arizona Long Term Care System) with the ability to identify ALTCS-related issues their clients might need to address.  

We will cover proactive estate planning steps to take to avoid client ALTCS issues later, how to help clients avoid or minimize estate recovery, what steps clients who might need ALTCS in the future can take ahead of time to simplify the process, things clients who might eventually need ALTCS should avoid to prevent future ALTCS application issues and several other ALTCS tips.

"The subject matter could not be saved by the presenters or materials. The system is a convoluted mess set up to empower people like the presenters. The course persuaded me that I will not touch ALTCS planning and advice with a ten foot pole. "
