Why do I need an elder care lawyer?
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.
