Our Practice Areas
Nursing Home Asset Protection
We can help you develop an action plan to protect your or your loved one’s life savings from being consumed by nursing home costs.
Medicaid Applications
Qualifying for Medicaid can be a daunting prospect. We do the hard work on your behalf, and help make sure these important benefits are secured.
Trusts, Wills & Estate Planning
We help ensure your goals are honored and accomplished through Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and other legal tools.
Trustee Representation
Properly drafting and funded Trusts can be an excellent device to avoid Probate upon a person’s passing.
Probate
Most of our clients experience a simplified probate process. In fact, most clients never need to walk into a probate court.
Guardianships
Many clients come to us when a loved one can no longer make financial or health care decisions for themselves, but have left the client no tools to do so for them. In some of those situations, a procedure known as “guardianship” is necessary.
