Title19CT.com 2010 Town Hall

Attorney Richard Shea — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:11:46 +0000

I love writing for Title19CT.com. For three years now I have worked to publish the latest news and information for families facing a Connecticut nursing home situation. I’ve been able to help many great families navigate the Connecticut Medicaid minefield over the years and am thrilled to report we average over 1,000 guests to Title19CT.com every month.

That is a lot people! I’ve always looked at Title19CT.com as a community resource for Connecticut families to get reliable and clear information and help. I know as an attorney a lot of information on Connecticut Medicaid is pretty well hidden; I can only imagine what someone on their own must encounter. With the continuously growing size of the Title19CT.com community I want to reach out to every visitor and make sure we provide what you are looking for.

This is your chance to get what you want from Title19CT.com and help other families that are probably looking for the same thing.

If you have any suggestions for improving Title19CT.com I welcome your comments in the space below.

If you came here looking for something and were not able to find it please make a note of what it was in the space below.

As we approach the one year anniversary of SheaLawOnline.com I guess I’ve achieved some measure of success. Nearly 1,000 visitors a month currently, and still growing. Most of the people that stop by are normal people looking for information, which is great. SheaLawOnline.com is designed for you to get information. Unfortunately success attracts content scrapers and other undesirable elements of the internet community.

This post is directed to them. The content of this site is copyrighted with all rights reserved. If you scrape or cut and paste something I have created on to your site you are dancing on a fine line that I take very seriously. I hope you don’t trip up.

Casting Call – Energy Attorneys

Attorney Richard Shea — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:03:38 +0000

I am working on a project and looking for energy industry attorneys, preferably in Connecticut or Houston. If you are an energy industry attorney or know of one please leave a comment to this post or contact me directly at info@. Please have both feet on the ground and not be overly pretentious. I wish I didn’t have to say that, but I’ve dealt with enough attorneys to know that I’m better off clearing that up.

We’ll return to our normally scheduled programming on Connecticut Medicaid issues shortly.

2007 in Review

Attorney Richard Shea — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 16:59:35 +0000

As we kick off the new year it is a good time to take a look back at 2007.

I am proud of what this site accomplished in 2007. Starting with no visitors as all sites do and moving up to 600 visitors a month is great, and exceeded my expectations. I appreciate everyone that stops by and takes the time to get educated about Connecticut estate planning and elder law issues. I hope you find the information here valuable and will visit again.

The most popular posts of 2007 were:

Five is enough. I won’t bore you with a top ten.

I’m already working on making 2008 a great follow-up to what we accomplished in 2007. Stay tuned for details. Have a happy and healthy new year.

Site Search is Live (Almost)

Attorney Richard Shea — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 12:05:42 +0000

Today I am launching the site search project. There is a lot of information spread throughout my site and sometimes the best way to find something is with a keyword search. I say the site search is almost live because the search method I use is subject to change based on how things unfold during this test. So, if you’re looking for something in particular and are having trouble locating it through the link structure currently in place, try out the new site search here.

*Self-Promotion Alert*

You never know who is watching. I was pleasantly surprised to see this post this post on HR 3170 has made its way to the online version of the Wall Street Journal. In a recent column post titled Calculating Federal Estate Tax, Tom Herman discusses some of the tricky tax questions everyone is facing as the Economic Growth & Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 approaches its sunset date. You can find their link to my post in the “Blog Posts About This Topic” section at the end of the column.

Estate Tax Repeal – Revisited

Coming Attractions: September & Beyond

Attorney Richard Shea — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 20:14:42 +0000

The next two months are going to be very exciting and will provide you with an excellent opportunity to make sure your estate plan works for you.

September is “Know Your Estate Plan” month. You won’t find it on any calendar except mine. Over the last few months I have met with an increasing number of new clients that come to me and 1) do not understand how their existing estate plan from another office works or 2) have different expectations from their estate plan from another office than what the documents actually say. This is a problem in my opinion, and I’m going to do something about it. Come back on September 1 for more information.

In October, my “Medicaid Protection Winter Workshop” will take place. This workshop is designed to prepare your family for nursing home costs that average over $9,000 each month in Connecticut. This is an excellent opportunity for families that want to protect their life savings from devastating nursing home costs to get educated and get started before it is too late. I’ll be posting additional information on the Workshop and how to reserve your spot in the coming weeks.

Introduction To Medicaid Seminar

Attorney Richard Shea — Sat, 16 Jun 2007 14:56:19 +0000

It took a while, but the Connecticut Department of Social Services finally got around to issuing its implementation regulations addressing the sweeping Medicaid reforms included in the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. (That’s right, more than two years after the law was passed). I am presenting a seminar open to the public to discuss these latest regulations as well as an introduction to many of the common issues people run in to when considering applying for Medicaid benefits. Anyone that may apply for Medicaid nursing home benefits in the near future is encouraged to attend this event, especially married couples.

Some of the new regulations concern:

The seminar is scheduled for June 28th from 5:30 – 6:30pm.
