Although needs vary, one factor remains constant: every senior citizen can benefit from proper advanced legal planning. Our Elder Law lawyers are here to educate and guide you through the issues that will impact your future. Elder law involves all aspects of planning for aging, illness, and incapacity. Ideally, these issues should be addressed in advance of a crisis. Please email us with any questions.

Estate Planning & Asset Distribution

Proper estate planning and asset distribution before death can help the whole family. If this is done properly, an elderly person can receive the full value of Medicaid and Medicare benefits, and can also preserve assets for an estate to benefit children and future generations. Children of parents who are under home care, or in nursing homes or other assisted living arrangements, should make sure their parents are receiving all the benefits to which they are entitled. Visit our Estate Planning page to learn more.
