I recommend that you go to the website of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys at www.naela.org and use their attorney locator to find a competent elder law/medicaid specialist close to your home. There are many highly qualified elder law attorneys in California who can guide you with asset protection and medicaid rules.

There are numerous highly skilled Elderlaw attorneys in California: Stuart Zimring; Barbara Bergstein; Leah Granoff, to name a few. As the other gentleman answer this question indicated the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys at www.naela.org has a web site where you can locate competent practitioners in your area. You cannot engage in this type of planning yourself; there are potential criminal penalties.
