Estate Planning — Provide guidance to family members in the event of your incapacity or death. Planning now avoids difficult decisions for your loved ones, and allows you to dictate what should happen:
- Wills — Make your wishes known about distributing your assets to beneficiaries.
- Trusts — Preserve your assets for future generations while avoiding probate and minimizing taxes.
- Powers of attorney — Appoint a trusted person to manage your personal affairs and make medical decisions on your behalf.
- Living Wills — Make wishes known regarding life support.
Elder Law — The elderly have special legal issues regarding health care, long-term nursing care and wealth transfer. Even if you do not have the luxury of advance planning, there is much we can do to help:
- Medicaid planning — Management of assets for benefit of client and family members without sacrificing Medicaid eligibility for nursing home care or supportive living facility (assisted living).
- Guardianship — Take control of the financial affairs and health care of an elderly parent or relative who has lost the capacity to manage these matters.
Special Needs Planning — Establish a special needs trust for a disabled child or vulnerable adult to preserve Medicaid eligibility without depleting all assets.
Probate Administration — Settle a family member's estate efficiently and cost-effectively, while protecting yourself from liability.
