MCLE ThisWeek | S2 E7: MassHealth Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction with Brian E. Barreira
In the latest episode of MCLE ThisWeek, host Bruce Richard sits down with veteran elder law attorney and MCLE author Brian E. Barreira for a candid discussion on one of the most misunderstood areas in legal planning: MassHealth eligibility and long-term care. Brian unpacks why going on MassHealth doesn’t mean second-rate care, how probate—often avoided—can actually protect assets for married couples, and why placing a home in a trust might not always be the safest move. With real-world examples and decades of experience, Brian offers practical, sometimes surprising guidance that challenges conventional estate planning wisdom and helps attorneys avoid costly missteps when advising aging clients.
