Elder Law Attorneys

Understanding Elder Law

Elder law is a specialized area of law focused on the legal needs of older adults and their families. It encompasses a broad range of issues impacting seniors, including estate planning, Medicaid planning, long-term care, guardianship, and disability benefits. As individuals age, their legal and financial needs often become more complex, requiring specialized knowledge and experience.

Key Areas of Practice:

• Estate Planning: We assist in creating wills, trusts, and other estate planning documents to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and to minimize estate taxes. This includes comprehensive planning for incapacity and providing for your loved ones.
• Medicaid Planning: Navigating the complex rules surrounding Medicaid eligibility is crucial for accessing long-term care services. Our team helps you understand eligibility requirements and develop strategies to protect your assets while qualifying for benefits.
• Long-Term Care Planning: We assist with planning for the costs of long-term care, including exploring options like assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and in-home care.
• Guardianship & Conservatorship: If a senior is unable to manage their affairs due to cognitive impairment, we can assist with initiating guardianship or conservatorship proceedings to protect their interests.
• Special Needs Planning: We help families create trusts and other legal structures to ensure the financial security of children with disabilities while preserving their eligibility for government benefits.
• VA Benefits: We assist veterans and their families in obtaining benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs.
