Elder Law specifically focuses on the needs of our Elderly population. We can assist you in matters including the following:
- Medicaid/ALTCS planning and other governmental benefit programs;
- Health and personal care planning, including health care directives, living wills, end of life decisions and disposition of remains planning;
- Powers of attorney documents where you can nominate an “agent” to make financial and health care decisions on your behalf if needed; and
- Wills and trusts.
It is best to seek an elder law attorney’s services before you become ill or incapacitated. We can provide legal documents for you which detail how certain situations should be handled if you are unable to make decisions for yourself. In this way, you are in control of how things are to be handled regardless of your ability to handle them for yourself.
