Who Needs Help with 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 addresses.

When you have concerns about protecting your assets, planning for incapacity, making sure your children are cared for, and controlling your own legacy, you need help with elder law matters.  These concerns become important as soon as you are old enough to make decisions for yourself, as soon as you begin to acquire wealth, and as soon as you have people counting on you.

Taking action early to talk with an elder law attorney means that you will always have the peace of mind of knowing there is a plan for managing your assets and making health choices in case of incapacity. You can spare your family from being forced to make difficult situations in a medical emergency or from being forced to go through complicated court proceedings to get control of your assets. You can also make sure your children and loved ones are cared for always, and that your family does not face fighting and struggles if you pass away.

The legal matters that an elder law attorney helps you to address are some of the most personal and most important legal issues that you will encounter over the course of your lifetime. Get the informed help you need as soon as possible so you and your family will always be protected.

What Does an Elder Law Attorney Do For You?

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.

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

How Can a Geneseo, IL Elder Law Attorney Help?

A Geneseo elder law attorney at Nash Bean Ford & Brown, LLP will work with you to create a comprehensive plan aimed at protecting you and your loved ones in case of incapacity and in the eventuality of your death. We will also help you plan ahead to protect you from losing assets and to work to build wealth for your own financial security and to pass on to future generations. Give us a call at 800-644-5345 or contact us online today to learn more.
