For Elder Law & Medicaid Consultants
Refer Your Estate Planning Clients to The Hive Law
You handle Medicaid planning. We handle the estate planning documents. The work is complementary and the referral goes both ways. When our clients need Medicaid planning help, we send them to you.
Find Out Where You Stand
Medicaid Planning Clients Need Estate Planning Documents You Cannot Draft
Elder law consultants and Medicaid planning specialists handle the application, the spend-down strategy, and the benefit coordination. What you often cannot handle is drafting the irrevocable trust, updating the power of attorney, or ensuring the healthcare directive is current and legally valid in Georgia.
When a client enters long-term care planning, every document in their estate plan needs to be reviewed. The power of attorney must be durable and current. The healthcare directive must name the right people. If an irrevocable Medicaid trust is part of the strategy, someone needs to draft it correctly.
That is the gap. You handle the Medicaid side. We handle the document side. The work is complementary, not competing.
What Partnering With The Hive Law Looks Like
We draft the estate planning documents your Medicaid planning clients need. Irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and any related estate planning coordination. We do not handle Medicaid applications, spend-down strategies, or benefit coordination. That is your scope.
The referral goes both ways. When estate planning clients come to us with incapacity concerns, long-term care needs, or Medicaid eligibility questions, we refer them to our elder law partners. If you handle that work, those referrals can come to you.
For time-sensitive situations — a client who needs documents before a facility admission — we move quickly. Contact us directly and we will prioritize the engagement.
How to Refer a Client
Email us with the client’s name and the specific document gap. We respond within 24 hours, handle the drafting, and coordinate with you on any trust structure that connects to the Medicaid strategy. You can also share the Estate Exposure Report as a screening tool for clients early in the planning process.

Shawn and Melissa were amazing to work with! My partner and I recently bought a house and wanted to get important things like wills, healthcare directives, etc. set up. They were incredible at answering all our questions and working with us to make sure we felt confident in all of the legal aspects.

I lost my father in February of this year without any estate planning in place. The process of dealing with the probate court has been overwhelming and expensive. After this experience, I contacted The Hive Law to set up a trust so my children never have to go through what I've been through. Melissa and Shawn were compassionate, knowledgeable, and made the entire process simple. I highly recommend The Hive Law!
I used to know the bare minimum about probate and trust. I first encountered Shawn Breyer on Facebook. He was offering a webinar that I watched. That gave me a better understanding of probate versus trust. I was impressed enough to have him and his wife represent me. I had my initial one on one interview with Melissa Breyer, it went smoothly and she made everything clear. We are now proceeding with getting a revocable trust in place.
The Hive Law has been amazing throughout the process of setting up our trust. Every detail is considered and no stone is left unturned. They have been easy and enjoyable to work with. I would absolutely recommend them! Don't let your estate be turned over to Probate!!
