Estate planning. Retirement planning. Paying for long-term care. There are all kinds of legal issues you may find yourself facing as you get older.
ELDER LAW & MEDICAID PLANNING
Estate Planning
Every adult should have some kind of estate plan. But this is even more important as you age, because you want to make sure your wishes are properly recorded and that what you leave behind for loved ones is helpful rather than troublesome.
Guardianship
Seniors can petition for a guardian, or caregivers can petition to become guardian to an aging loved one. On the flip side, either can object to the guardianship petition of someone if they don’t believe the person is a good fit or it’s unnecessary.
Advance Directives
These directives outline your healthcare preferences in the event you are unable to speak for yourself due to incapacitation. This includes who should make medical decisions for you and what treatments you do or don’t want.
Retirement Planning
Want to be able to enjoy your retirement with confidence? It’s vital to map out income, savings, and other expenses. Typically, this covers Social Security, pensions, investments, and long-term care.
Housing Discrimination
Sometimes, seniors receive unfair treatment when attempting to rent or buy housing due to age-related biases. Seeking legal assistance can ensure you receive equal access and get help filing complaints if needed.
Dealing with Veterans Benefits
Veterans and their families have earned VA benefits such as pensions, healthcare, and Aid and Attendance. But you still have to apply in order to receive those benefits, and may need to appeal if denied. We can help with both things.
Don’t Wait to Start Medicaid Planning – Or You Could Be Left Out
Long-term care is expensive. But Medicare doesn’t cover it — and most private insurers don’t either.
Thankfully, Medicaid does — but you have to qualify for it. If your income and “countable resources” exceed Medicaid’s incredibly low limit, your application will be denied.
Because of this, one of the most common issues elder law attorneys deal with is incorporating Medicaid planning into your estate plan. We utilize legal tools and strategies to protect your assets while ensuring you will qualify for Medicaid if you need it in the future.
