Our Elder Law, Estate Planning and Estate Administration Practice

We will work closely with you to help you take all necessary steps to protect your assets from being used to pay for the costs of long-term care. We will carefully explain the different strategies you can use to minimize your risk, from the creation of living trusts to the creation of joint ownership in property. We will assist you with Medicaid planning so that you can maximize the benefits available to you from government programs. We will also help you put measures in place to address any disabilities or special needs, and to ensure that you or your loved one gets the care they need.

We will help you put an effective estate plan in place, carefully reviewing the details of your financial situation, as well as your goals. We will identify all your options, such as the implementation of wills or trusts, the re-titling of assets to avoid probate and the use of lifetime gifts. When you have determined which approach is in your best interests, we will draft and execute all the documents necessary to put your plan in place, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and medical directives. We also assist clients who want to set up special needs trusts.

We will walk you through the estate administration process, helping you:

• Prepare and submit an accounting of the assets of the estate
• Notify all parties who have an interest in the estate, including heirs and creditors
• Pay all final debts of the estate
• File all necessary tax documents
• Oversee the orderly distribution of the assets of the estate
