Areas of Practice
Elder Law + Estate Planning
This is a specific area of law where we ensure that clients are covered and prepared for the legal issues that may arise as they age. This encompasses planning for a sudden illness or incompetency. Additionally, it includes preserving assets if a client needs nursing home care. Finally, it includes having the client setup a plan for how their asset will be handled upon their passing.
Medicaid Planning
On average, most nursing homes charge over $8,000 per month. Medicaid is the State and Federal government run program that helps to provide financial assistance at a nursing home. The eligibility rules for Medicaid are very complex and constantly changing. We specialize in helping our clients qualify for this program, while preserving as much of their assets as legally possible.
Probate Administration
If a loved one suddenly passes away with no prior estate planning or just a basic will, they may often have assets that need to go through a probate court administration. There is often a great deal of paperwork that needs to be filed with the local court. We handle these types of cases from beginning to end and can guide you through this difficult process.
