Elder Law

Elder law is about planning for real life and solving problems associated with aging. It’s about protecting assets and still qualifying for Medicaid long term nursing care assistance. It’s about planning for incapacity. It’s about ensuring the best quality of life the later years of life. Where some lawyers only focus on who gets what when someone dies, we know that is only a small part of planning for aging.

A lot of what we do in the area of elder law is family asset protection and Medicaid planning and qualification. If a family member is in need of long-term nursing home care, or if long-term nursing home care is possible or expected, we can help you legally protect the family assets without needing to “spend down” every penny on nursing home care until there’s nothing left. We can help make sure that hard-earned money can be spent (or passed down to heirs) how you want rather than being forced to spend a life’s savings on nursing home care.
