Elder Care Law

Modern medicine and healthy living have made it possible for people to live much longer than we ever hoped to just 50 years ago. Questions confronting our seniors and their caregivers can cause sleepless nights and can take away peace of mind:

• What sort of legal strategies can protect me and my assets?
• How will I pay for my long term care?
• If I need Medicaid, how do I qualify?
• Can I preserve my assets if my spouse has to go into a long term care facility?
• Who will make my healthcare decisions for me if I am unable to?
• Who will conduct my financial transactions if I am unable to?
• What is a special needs trust and do I need one?
• Does my loved one need a court-ordered guardian?
• Should I create a trust?
• How can I leave the most to my children and grandchildren without losing control of my finances?
