As your elder attorney, we help prepare for long-term care by choosing a retirement plan, provide Estate planning, navigate Medicaid planning, establish power of attorney, create a living will and more. As individuals enter retirement age, there are government benefits that are available, but determining if you qualify for these federal programs can be difficult to do alone. As an experienced elder law practice we are knowledgeable in all areas of federal assistance available to seniors.
Pennsylvania laws are very specific about what can and cannot be included in a will, financial power of attorney or trust. These laws dictate who can and who cannot serve as a trustee, representative or health care surrogate. Working with an experienced, and local, elder law attorney can help avoid costly mistakes that can negatively impact you or your loved ones. As an experienced elder attorney, we understand the requirements and work tirelessly to provide your loved ones with the best legal guidance related to long-term care.
