Applying for Medicaid benefits becomes more complex when you are having to deal with out of state property. You should consult with a Medicaid Planning Attorney to help you qualifying your father for benefits.

The asset cap for Medicaid Qualification purposes in $2,000 in the state of Florida, with the exeption of homestead property, one vehicle, one wedding and engagement rign, and household furnishings.
