Improper planning leads to Medicaid emergencies that can cost you a lot of money and your house.

One mistake in your estate plan can lead to the wrong people getting the money and house or the whole plan falling apart.

We aren’t a general practice law firm, and have developed a deep knowledge in estate planning, probate, special needs planning, and elder law or Medicaid so you can rest easy that we have a lot of expertise in these areas.
We believe in three things:
1. Law shouldn’t be hard for you. We should take care of the hard part and let you concentrate on what’s important
2. Systems make solutions easier
3. You deserve to know pricing ahead of time
We guide you through the legal process with a unique step-by-step, easy to follow systems based approach.
You give us the information we need and we put it into the legal form needed. You don’t have to speak legalese because we speak in plain language.
Everything we do – estate planning, probate, elder law, and special needs planning – is systems based.
What do systems mean for you?
A system is a repeatable set of steps to achieve your successful outcome. Systems simplify complex tasks by breaking them down into a set of easier steps. After each step is complete, the work is checked. Only if the work is correct is the next step is taken.
We also believe you deserve to know the price before we start to work. Some firms will take a guess at the number of hours, give you an estimate, and charge you at their hourly rate plus expenses. You don’t know how much you pay until they are done.
We don’t do that. We will give you a fixed price up front and stick to it, no matter how many hours we put in.
Because this is all we do, we are really familiar with the fees needed. We build them into our up front pricing. Rarely do we have unforeseen expenses.
We want to help you solve your legal issues one step at a time.

Elder Law

Elder law is the intersection of several areas of law. It involves estate planning, Medicaid planning, long term care selection, insurance, and more.

The main purpose of elder law is to help you or your loved ones to navigate the maze of aging. That is to help steer you and your loved ones through the issues of life that arise simply because of aging.

An elder lawyer offers advice and counseling on a wide variety of topics:

Long term care
Insurance
Retirement
Estate Planning
And a host of other issues…

As we age, there are government benefits that may become available, but determining eligibility and qualifying for these benefits can be difficult.

Long Term Medicaid Planning
An irrevocable trust can be setup to hold assets. These assets will be shielded from Medicaid. You get all the income from the assets.
Here are the drawbacks:
1. If you apply for Medicaid within 5 years, the property and money put into the trust will count against you.
2. You can’t be the trustee meaning you give up all control over the assets.
3. Your spouse can’t be the trustee.
