Dedicated elder law advocates advise on healthcare protections

Access to affordable medical care is essential to your health and quality of life as you age. Our attorneys assist clients in Medicare and Medicaid planning so that they will be eligible for skilled and long-term care in the event they need it. We help seniors and their families to navigate these government programs so that they have access to the medical treatments, diagnostic tests and medications available to them. We can assist with setting up trusts so that funds will be available when needed while protecting clients’ assets and limiting their tax liability.

Skilled counselors assist with comprehensive estate planning

Our attorneys can advise you on the most successful ways to achieve your estate planning goals. Through meticulous analysis, we guide you on how best to transfer your assets, minimize estate taxes, establish guardianship for minor children, support personal philanthropic causes and even protect a beloved pet. We can draft a will that reflects your desires and establish living trusts and other legal instruments beneficial to your estate. We can also help you plan your future medical care and make crucial end-of-life decisions by drafting legally valid advance directives. These documents ensure your intentions will be honored if you become unable to communicate them yourself.

Knowledgeable advisers help seniors to maintain financial independence

Most of us look forward to the time when we no longer need to work. While retirement ideally affords people the opportunity to enjoy family, travel and hobbies, it requires careful planning. Living on a fixed income can create financial stress for seniors, and age-related illnesses can affect the independence they wish to maintain. Our attorneys can help you organize your affairs and plan for your retirement so you have the ability to live as you wish for as long as possible.
