About Mathew
Biography
I am a Howard County-based attorney licensed to practice in MD, DC, and the U.S. Tax Court. I focus my practice on estate planning (including elder law and disability / special needs planning), business law, and tax law.
I assist clients with developing and effectuating plans to address a variety of concerns, including: Disability / Special Needs Planning (and Government Benefit Planning / Qualification); Long-term Medical Expense Assistance ("Medical Assistance" or "Medicaid"); Creditor-protection and Wealth Preservation; "What If's" relating to Minor Children; Incapacity Pre-Need Planning; Tax Liabilities and Savings; Trust Formation and Administration; Estate Administration; Entity Formation and Governance; and more.
Law is ever-changing, whether by statute, regulation, caselaw, or otherwise. Most people assume all attorneys are aware of recent changes to the Law of their respective practice areas; many attorneys do not become aware of relevant changes for several months, if not longer, after bills are signed into law. (*Note - Maryland attorneys are not required to attend continuing education courses.)
Plans that rely on outdated Laws are outdated.
Monitoring trends in pending, passed, and failed legislation and caselaw enables compliance with current laws and enables clients and I to have a more intelligent discussion about their long-term plans.

Above and Beyond
Mr. Limsky was hired to oversee my estate and to ensure my final wishes are met when the time comes. He was extremely courteous and thorough. He made sure all basis were covered and that I understood everything perfectly. I would hire Mathew again if needed and I highly recommend him to others.

Just what I needed
I was referred to Mat Limsky to get help in filing for Medicaid for my Mom who went to a LTC facility after my father died. He was kind, considerate and patient. He always got back to me promptly when I called or emailed. Thank you Mat for all you did!
