Elder Law Cases We Handle

Elder law covers a wide variety of different issues. Estate planning is a major aspect of elder law, as well as legal processes that are centered on establishing care plans and securing benefits for older people who need specialized healthcare or assistance with their daily activities.

We assist clients with cases such as:

  • Estate planning: Creating an estate plan is essential for ensuring your wishes are properly carried out after death. We can assist you with wills, trusts, and other estate planning tools.
  • Veterans benefits: If you served in the military, you and your family may be entitled to certain benefits. Our firm is veteran-founded, and we are committed to helping you get the benefits you deserve.
  • Trust administrations: Our lawyers can help you with establishing a trust and protecting your assets from the probate process.
  • Pet trusts: You want to make sure that your pet is cared for after you pass away. A pet trust is a legal tool for leaving funds for your pet’s care and identifying a caregiver.
  • Asset protection: There are legal measures you can take to protect the assets that you have spent your life earning.
  • Business succession planning: With the help of our attorneys, you can ensure that your business will be in the right hands following your retirement or death.
  • Conservatorships/guardianships: Your elderly loved one may need a person to manage their finances and affairs. Through the creation of a conservatorship (also known as a guardianship), you can establish care for your family member.
  • Long-term care: We can help you make sure that your loved one’s needs are met.
  • Probate: If your recently deceased loved one’s estate is in probate, we can assist with carrying out their wishes.
  • Special needs planning: Do you have a family member with a mental or physical disability who needs specialized care? We can guide you through establishing a care plan for your loved one, as well as apply for benefits and support programs.
