Elder Law is an area of legal practice typically concentrating on legal counseling for aging and special needs clients. Often it involves counseling clients and their families about nursing home and long term care financing, guardianship and special needs trust planning and Veterans Benefits. 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day. Few clients have adequately planned for long term care with legal documents such as durable powers of attorney for financial and health care matters and living wills. These are the documents most important when crisis happens as a result of accidental falls, strokes or loss of caregiving spouses. Medicaid qualifying trusts can prevent the unnecessary loss of savings or the family home to Medicaid recovery. Specially designed wills can legally help save family savings while accessing Medicaid to pay for the nursing home.
Our goal is to save family resources from the expense of Long Term Care.
"Special Needs Planning” is trust-based estate planning.
When an individual lacks the legal capacity to make a rational decision.
United States veterans are entitled to many benefits.
Nursing Home cost is the largest expense we face as we age.
The overall process by which a person’s estate is administered after his or her death.
