As our population ages, the legal needs of older adults become increasingly significant. Elder law encompasses a range of legal issues that affect seniors, focusing on their rights, healthcare, and financial well-being. Our primary goal is to advocate for older adults and their families, ensuring they navigate complex legal landscapes effectively.
Our principal fields of activity are
Estate Planning
We help clients prepare for the future by drawing up wills, advance directives, living wills, and powers of attorney. This planning ensures that their wishes regarding asset distribution and healthcare decisions are respected.
Medicaid and Medicare Planning
Navigating healthcare benefits can be daunting. We assist clients in understanding eligibility requirements and applying for Medicaid and Medicare, which can be crucial for covering long-term care costs.
Guardianship and Conservatorship
When older adults can no longer manage their own affairs, we help establish guardianships or conservatorships. This process ensures that a trusted individual can make decisions on their behalf.
Long-Term Care Planning
As many seniors face the possibility of requiring long-term care, we guide families in exploring options and financing for nursing homes or assisted living facilities.
Elder Abuse and Neglect
Unfortunately, elder abuse can occur in various forms. We advocate for victims of abuse and neglect, seeking justice and protection for vulnerable seniors.
Social Security Benefits
We also help clients understand and access social security benefits, ensuring they receive the financial support they are entitled to.
In summary, we play a critical role in safeguarding the rights and welfare of older adults. We provide essential legal guidance and support, helping families navigate the complexities of aging.
