Elder Law
There are unique legal challenges that arise as we age or become disabled, such as securing long-term care, navigating public benefit programs, and remaining as independent as possible. The goal of Elder Law is to protect the autonomy, health, and financial well-being of people as they age and need additional support.
Preparing with Purpose and Care
Creating a plan that secures your long-term care is a gift to both yourself and your future caretakers. A carefully crafted plan, including Powers of Attorney, Health Care Directives, Supported Decision Making agreements, and estate planning documents will help your loved ones focus on what matters most during these difficult transitions.
Supported Decision Making
We help our clients remain as independent as possible by identifying ways they can retain their rights while receiving guidance and assistance from trusted supporters to help them make informed choices.
Long-Term Care Planning
When planning for long-term care, we help our clients maximize their life savings and protect against catastrophic care costs by utilizing asset protection planning strategies.
Special Needs Planning for the Disabled
For individuals with Special Needs who would benefit from public supports, we help our clients legally protect assets in order to retain or obtain eligibility for these sometimes life-changing benefits.
Family Caregivers
Family caregivers are vital and are often uncompensated for the services they provide to their loved ones; however, a family caregiver agreement can offer structure and compensation to those arrangements.
Assisted Living and Senior Housing Contracts
Finding a facility that provides the right level of care is daunting. We help our clients review their housing agreements and understand what to expect when they move into their new home.
