     Elder Law attorneys focus on the various problems and issues that concern the elderly and their families.        

     The typical issues that an Elder Law attorney can assist with are:

  • A loved one needs to be placed in a nursing home.

  • A determination needs to be made regarding Medicaid qualification and planning the preservation of assets to avoid spousal poverty

  • Incapacity planning, including the preparation of Financial and Medical Powers of Attorney

  • Probate issues, including guardianship and conservatorship, and estate administration

  • Estate planning, both during one’s lifetime and planning for the distribution to beneficiaries after death

     Professional planning for possible disability or eventual death is necessary for everyone.  An experienced Elder Law  attorney can assist with the necessary planning and prepare any documents that are needed.
