Elder Law Attorney Legal Services

Elder law encompasses various legal planning types, each addressing older adults’ specific needs and concerns. Here’s an explanation of each:

Estate Planning

Prepare for the management and distribution of your estate after your passing.

Create wills, trusts, and other instruments to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes.

Minimize taxes and legal complications for your beneficiaries.

Durable Power of Attorney

Appoint someone you trust to manage your affairs if you become unable to do so.

Your POA agent can handle tasks like paying bills, managing investments, personal and healthcare issues, and making financial decisions on your behalf.

We can help you limit or broaden the scope of your agent’s powers based on your specific needs.

Healthcare Power of Attorney

Similar to a Durable Power of Attorney, but specifically for healthcare decisions, designate someone to make medical decisions for you if you’re incapacitated.

Using your advance directives, such as a Living Will, your agent makes medical decisions that respect your wishes. 

Advance Directives, Such as a Living Will

Advance Directives empower you to make your healthcare wishes known in case you become unable to communicate them yourself. You can specify your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments, end-of-life care, and other critical medical decisions.

Ensure your healthcare choices are respected, relieving your loved ones of the burden of making these difficult decisions for you during emotional times.

Advance directives, such as a living will also help prevent potential conflicts among family members and ensure that your medical treatment aligns with your personal values and desires.

Find peace of mind for both you and your family, ensuring your healthcare wishes are clearly understood and followed.

Long-Term Care and Medicaid Planning

Medicaid planning involves structuring your finances to qualify for Medicaid while preserving your assets. Medicaid planning is essential for covering long-term care costs, such as nursing home care, without exhausting your savings.

Health insurance does not generally cover assisted living or long-term skilled nursing care.

We also focus on preparing for potential future care needs by evaluating long-term care insurance options, understanding the costs of different care, and helping you prepare to cover them.

Guardianship

If become legally incompetent or incapacitated without preparing for the future with a power of attorney, a court may become involved.

In these cases, a court may legally appoint a guardian to make decisions about your care and finances.

Each of the above planning types plays a vital role in ensuring that your later years are as comfortable and secure as possible, reflecting your wishes and needs.
