Handling Your Elder Law Issues
Elder Law covers the many legal matters specific to those age 65 and older. We have the expertise to help you or an elderly relative with specific issues facing seniors, from dealing with an estate to handling finances to lessening the impact of taxation. We are here to help. We will make sure your rights are protected and you get the care and aid you need.
Estate Planning & Administration
Planning where your property and assets go after your death is crucial and prevents loved ones from making decisions at an emotionally stressful time. Learn more about how we can help plan or execute an estate at our Estate Planning & Administration page.
Health Care Planning & Administration
Documenting what treatment you want or who should make decisions about your care should you become ill or incapacitated ensures your wishes will be met. Learn how we can assist you with health care issues at our Health Care Planning & Administration page.
Long-term Care Financing
As you age, you may need special aid if you become ill or if you need assistance for your daily care. We will counsel you and set up financial planning for such need. We also work to protect the rights of seniors to home and community-based health, social and support services.
Medicaid & Medicare
Many seniors have questions and concerns specifically relating to Medicaid and Medicare requirements. Medicaid rules are particularly complicated. We handle Medicaid applications, appeals and proceedings to assure your rights are met.
Taxation
Taxes can become a hardship as your income drops. As a senior citizen, you or a loved one may qualify for specific tax savings. We instruct you on how best to lessen the impact of taxes as well as provide planning and preparation of income, estate and gift taxes.
