Elder Law
As the Baby Boomer generation ages in this country, a new area of law has emerged - elder law. Not only are the Boomers beginning to address areas in their own lives such as estate planning, they are also finding that they have issues to deal with as their parents age.
We have developed expertise in this area of law as many of our long-time clients have started inquiring about elder law issues. In addition to our estate planning practice, we also deal with issues concerning mental and physical incapacity, including conservatorships and guardianships .
Another big area of concern for people as they age is how to qualify for Medicare and Medicaid. You are probably aware that qualification requirements for Medicaid dictate that you only have certain levels of assets. Most people, however, do not want all of their assets depleted in paying for their long-term care. We can help you with appropriate structuring of your assets to achieve the goals of having you qualify for Medicaid while still protecting your assets. We will also become involved in the application process, as well as help you with any qualification appeals that are necessary.
Contact us today for yourself or for your parents. We can answer your questions and help you understand the legal issues that are involved with aging. Our experience will give you peace of mind during your golden years.
