Taproot Workshop:
Early Medicaid Planning
Protecting the Home, Family & Future Before a Crisis Happens
When people hear “Medicaid planning,” they often think of emergency situations:
-a sudden nursing home stay,
-a family scrambling for answers,
-or someone being told they need to give everything away immediately.
But in reality, there are often layers of planning that can happen long before a crisis — and earlier planning usually creates more flexibility, more options, and less chaos.
More and more people — including people as young as their 50s — are starting to ask:
• Should I put my kids on the deed?
• Should I give property away now?
• What happens if I need long-term care later?
• How do I plan ahead without losing control?
• What are the risks of waiting too long — or acting too quickly?
This practical workshop explores the early stages of Medicaid and long-term care planning for people who want to better understand:
• how homes and property are treated
• what role wills, deeds, trusts, and powers of attorney play
• how planning can help reduce confusion and conflict later
• the balance between maintaining control and preparing for uncertainty
• and why “giving everything away” is not always the right answer
This workshop is designed to help people better understand the legal mechanics of planning ahead, not to pressure anyone into extreme or fear-based decisions.
Hosted by attorney and legal coach Erica Payne of Taproot Law PLLC.
📍 Drifa Brewing Company – Marquette
🎟️ $50 per person
The vibe: practical education, real-life planning, and helping people understand the systems that shape housing, caregiving, aging, and family transitions.
