Brumbaugh Law Firm is an elder law and estate planning law firm in Sandusky, OH, committed to helping families protect what matters most. We focus on the unique legal needs of seniors, blending estate planning, Medicaid planning, and long-term care strategies to support independence while preserving assets.

Our goal is simple: to safeguard your savings, protect your home, and reduce the financial impact of long-term care. According to the Ohio Department of Medicaid, the state’s definition of “estate” for recovery includes not only probate property but also non-probate assets such as transfer-on-death deeds and payable-on-death accounts. In addition, according to federal law (42 U.S.C. §1396p), Medicaid recovery is prohibited when a surviving spouse or a minor, blind, or disabled child remains, offering important protections for many families. With the right planning, you can avoid the devastating costs of nursing home care without selling your home, draining your life savings, or leaving your spouse at risk—while still leaving a meaningful legacy for your children.

We provide more than legal services; we provide peace of mind. Through free educational seminars and personalized planning, we guide families through the complexities of elder law and probate avoidance with clarity and compassion. At Brumbaugh Law Firm, we believe informed decisions today create lasting security for tomorrow.
