How ElderLawLocator builds trust

Source transparency

Listings show whether the attorney was found through board certification, State Bar legal specialty data, elder law sections, or other practice signals.

Active-license focus

The directory is built around active attorney records and elder-law-relevant source tags, with stronger signals sorted first.

Family decision context

Pages explain the practical issue families are facing, then route them to attorneys, local city pages, and care facility research.

2026 Medicaid limits

Medicaid asset and income limits, state by state

The eligibility numbers that decide whether Medicaid will pay for a parent or spouse's long-term care vary noticeably by state. See the 2026 figures for 8 states – asset limits, income caps, community-spouse protections, and the home-equity cap – explained in plain English.

What's different per state

  • California removed the asset test in 2024
  • Texas, Georgia, and Ohio use income caps and QITs
  • Pennsylvania has a filial-responsibility statute
  • Florida's QIT timing affects the application month
