Elder Law

Complete Guide To Elder Law

Elder Law is a specific legal practice area focusing on the needs of the elderly, their families, and caregivers. Health care needs, family dynamics, asset structuring, and any existing legal documents are all factors to consider when developing a plan to protect the rights and assets of the individual(s) being served. This includes ensuring that a power of attorney and health directives are in place, establishing a life care plan, creating or enforcing a will, or establishing and enforcing trusts, as may be appropriate to the situation.

Elder Law also goes far beyond these individual legal areas, to include help with long term care so that a parent, or parents, can safely remain in their home or transition to a more appropriate living environment. Our staff assists families to identify and obtain the source of care and source of funding to make that possible. This also involves support with issues pertaining to Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, as well as Veteran Benefits; helping protect the vulnerable every step of the way to ensure their needs are met, and their wishes are followed.

Our goal is to keep you or your loved one out of a nursing home, but if that is the only option, we will help find the right facility for you and your family. Life care planning also includes a financial plan to help protect your assets and your family home while still qualifying for Medicaid, Veterans Administration Aid & Attendance, and other benefits to which you may be entitled.

Wills

By creating a will, you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have created a plan that provides for your family.

Estate Planning

Estate planning ensures a person retains control over what happens to their belongings when they die. This is more than just stating who gets an item, however. It also involves outlining exactly what each person is to receive and when they are to be given possession of it.

Power of Attorney

A power of attorney is a legal document that gives someone the “power” to act for you. It can be for a specific matter, such as selling a house, or almost any financial or legal document you need to sign.
