Long-term care is expensive. When someone in your family needs the services of a nursing facility, the cost of their residential care will be $8,300 a month or more. We work with clients to assist them in developing a long term care plan with appropriate protections so that in the event that they are disabled and unable to adequately manage their personal and financial affairs, they and their loved ones are protected!
It is never too early or too late to engage in estate planning and long-term-care planning. With our assistance, you can age with dignity and peace of mind.
Long Term Care Planning is Different than Traditional Estate Planning
We have found that the traditional estate planning attorney has developed documents primarily to serve as a death asset distribution and tax minimization tool. Attorneys trained in the area of Elder Law understand that fully 50% of the individuals alive today who are 65 years of age or older will spend some period of their lives needing physical and/or custodial care. The important question is not what happens when I die but what happens if I don’t die, get sick and need care?
It is critical that your documents be written in such a way that you control how you wish to be cared for in this type of situation. Unfortunately, most estate planners spend pages detailing complicated trusts that will be in effect only after your death, and little or no attention is given to your desire for quality of life in the event of a disability of you or a loved one.
Our goal is to counsel you so that you can achieve peace of mind. We listen to what you have to say, so that we can learn your most important desires. Nobody can give you the advice you need unless they understand your own personal situation, including your unique blend of assets, risks, and life event probabilities. We never elevate our technical skills over our clients’ stated objectives and comfort zone.
Family Wealth Planning with us gives your life much more predictability and better prepares you and your family to deal with the curves life throws at you, whatever they turn out to be. Our planning is designed to help our clients sleep well at night.
Having a Personal Family Lawyer™ who knows you and your family and keeps up with your life as it changes is the very best way to avoid having that crisis arrive without warning.
Please call us for a confidential discussion of these concerns.
Did the Crisis arrive without warning? Click Here For More Information on Crisis Medicaid Planning. Doing planning before a crisis develops is far better than the other way. But crisis Medicaid planning to avoid impoverishing your spouse and help preserve for your family something of what you have worked so hard your whole life to amass is certainly possible.

“It is good to know that in case of sickness or death, my family has not been left with any financial or medical hardships or decisions. I can now spend what years I have left with peace of mind, knowing that I have spared my family a lot of worry and burdens.” Shirley Bell
