Areas of Elder Law Practice
Guardianship/Conservatorship
Guardianship is a legal proceeding that appoints another person to make decisions when an adult can no longer make or communicate safe or sound decisions about his or her person and/or assets. Conservatorship concerns the assets and finances of the person.
probate
Probate is the process of the Court determining who are the appropriate heirs of a deceased person’s assets and in which title is transferred from the name of the deceased to the names of the beneficiaries.
Medicaid Asset Protection
Medicaid is a public benefits program structured to provide health coverage to qualified individuals, including those who are 65 or older, disabled or blind. The program acts as a safety net to those seniors who cannot afford to cover all of their own long-term costs.
Trust Administration and Litigation
A trust is generally used as a way of managing assets both during the life of the primary beneficiary or beneficiaries and after the death of the person(s) who created the trust.
powers of attorney
Good, comprehensive financial and health care power of attorney documents are vital documents for every single individual over the age of eighteen because they designate who is able to make decisions for you when you are incapacitated, temporarily or permanently.
