Our Services

Our practice areas include Estate Planning, Elder Law, Last Will and Testament, Medicaid Benefits, Resource Center, Probate, Special Needs Trusts, and more. We offer a variety of services to cater to your specific needs, including:

• Estate Planning: Our team will help you create a comprehensive plan that ensures your assets are distributed according to your wishes. This includes drafting wills, setting up trusts, and planning for the distribution of your assets.

• Elder Law: We understand the complexities of aging and the legal issues that come with it. Our team will help you navigate through elder law matters such as long-term care planning, guardianship, and conservatorship.

• Last Will and Testament: Your Last Will and Testament dictates who will manage your affairs after you have gone and how your assets will be distributed among your beneficiaries. This planning tool is appropriate for families with young children.

• Medicaid Benefits: Many people are surprised to learn that they are qualified for or can become qualified for Medicaid benefits to pay for nursing home care, assisted living, or in-home care. Our team will help you understand your options and navigate the application process.

• Probate: Whether you need probate, trust administration, or a simple affidavit of joint survivor, we can guide you in the post-death process.

• Special Needs Trusts: Protect your loved ones by ensuring there are assets available to enhance their quality of life, without jeopardizing their other benefits.

• Powers of Attorney: Healthcare and General Durable Powers of Attorney are critical documents that all persons over 18 years of age need to ensure that someone is empowered to help, in case of an accident.

• Trusts: There are a multitude of trusts available to meet most every estate planning goal. Revocable Living Trusts are the most common and are used to avoid the public process of probate and simplify post-death administration.

• Guardianship & Conservatorship: When there is no person appointed as agent under power of attorney, we often need a guardianship or conservatorship to empower someone to step in and help.
