Elder law is a specialized area of the legal profession that focuses on issues and challenges faced by older individuals and their families. Elder law attorneys provide a wide range of legal services to help seniors and their families navigate the complex legal and financial issues that arise as they age.

Some of the services offered by our elder law firm may include:

Estate Planning: This includes creating a plan for the distribution of your assets and property after you pass away. An elder law attorney can help you create a will, trust, or other legal document to ensure that your wishes are carried out according to your desires.

Medicaid Planning: Medicaid is a government program that provides healthcare coverage for low-income individuals. An elder law attorney can help seniors and their families navigate the complex Medicaid application process and develop a plan to protect assets while still qualifying for Medicaid coverage.

Guardianship and Conservatorship: If an older individual becomes unable to make decisions for themselves due to a physical or mental impairment, an elder law attorney can help establish a guardianship or conservatorship. This allows a trusted individual to make decisions on behalf of the incapacitated person.

Long-Term Care Planning: As individuals age, they may require additional care, such as in-home care or assisted living. An elder law attorney can help seniors and their families plan for long-term care and make decisions about the best type of care for their needs.

Special Needs Planning: If you have a family member with special needs, an elder law attorney can help you create a plan to ensure their financial and legal needs are met. This may include establishing a special needs trust or other legal document.
