PROTECTING YOUR ASSETS FROM NURSING HOME COSTS

In-Depth Experience You Need for Elder Law Matters

Because of the name of the field of law, many people mistakenly believe that elder law matters are only a concern for the elderly. This is untrue, and it is important for everyone to get help with the things that an elder law attorney may address.

An elder law attorney primarily assists with:

• Asset protection: Trusts and other tools are used to reduce estate taxes, ensure you don’t lose assets if you need to go into a nursing home, and otherwise protect your wealth.
• Incapacity planning: A power of attorney, living trusts, and advanced medical directives can be used so you can name a person to make healthcare choices for you and to manage assets in case of incapacity. You can also leave instructions in advance regarding resuscitation, the use of a feeding tube, and other extraordinary medical measures.
• Legacy planning: Your attorney will help you to create a plan to grow your wealth, build a business, and pass your property and assets onto the next generation as seamlessly and affordably as possible.
  

Our attorneys may also assist with:

• Long-term care planning
• Medicaid planning
• Incapacity planning
• Elder abuse or neglect
  

When you work with an experienced elder law attorney, your attorney will discuss your goals and your wishes for the future, considering both optimistic possibilities like a long life and secure retirement as well as tragic outcomes like an untimely death or serious illness. Our caring and knowledgeable elder law attorneys will help you to create a plan so you and those you care about will be kept secure, no matter what life brings.
