Legal Services We Offer

With years of experience in Elder Law, we are pleased to offer a comprehensive range of professional legal services including:

Wills and Trusts

We are a full-service law firm that focuses on estate and incapacity planning. We can help you with wills, trusts, durable powers of attorney, living wills and more. All these documents outline how assets are to be distributed after a person dies or falls ill, and they can help the estate to avoid guardianship, probate, or additional taxes.

We also advise on the advantages and disadvantages of setting up various types of trusts. This could include special planning for a disabled spouse or child to improve their quality of life, while maintaining their benefits.

Medicaid Planning

Medicaid helps the elderly and disabled pay for nursing home care and other medical costs. We help our eligible clients get and keep Medicaid. 

We also create personalized plans for our clients and their families, including the best use of personal and financial resources to meet their long-term goals.

Asset Protection

Medicaid planning and asset protection go hand-in-hand, but sometimes assets need protection outside of Medicaid. We partner with experienced professionals to protect your finances, property and well-being.

Probate and Probate Litigation

In probate and trust administration, we represent fiduciaries, personal representatives, trustees and beneficiaries. Our highly skilled staff treats every client with empathy and understanding.

We can liaise between the court and the fiduciary of the estate to guide them through the probate process and distribute the assets to the beneficiaries in a timely manner. We do this by closely following court orders and complying with the strict probate time limits.

Trust Administration and Litigation

After the settlor's death or incapacity, trustees have to manage the trust property for the beneficiaries according to the trust documents. Our skilled team can guide trustees through the process of effective administration.

Guardianship and Guardianship Litigation

If a person becomes unable to manage their own affairs, and no advance directives exist, we can advise on legal guardianship proceedings.

Relatives often consult us about their legal rights and duties in guardianship proceedings. In many cases, the adult/child and other relatives live out of state, making guardianship difficult. Our team can bridge this gap by attending any court hearings and filing all necessary legal papers outlining the client's position on the need for a guardian and the management of the ward's assets.

Experienced in Elder Law

Whatever the reason for your consultation, our Elder Law Attorneys will arm you with the knowledge and resources you need to make the best legal decisions possible.
