HOW CAN WE HELP?
Do You Have Concerns About:
- Running out of money if you or your spouse becomes ill and requires significant care
- Having no control over who provides care for you if you need it
- Choosing the type of care you want and where you want to receive it
- Leaving an inheritance to your loved ones, only to have it taken by their creditors
- Your children misusing the property or money you leave to them
- Providing support to a loved one with a disability both during your lifetime and after your passing
- Making sure your wishes about care and your finances are carried out
If you answered “yes” to any of the questions above, we can help. A long-term care asset protection plan is not a one-size-fits-all set of documents. Each plan is designed based on your concerns, your desires, and your goals.

Being appointed guardian of a loved one is a serious responsibility. As guardian, you are in charge of your loved one’s well-being and you have a duty to act in his or her best interest.
A crucial, yet often overlooked, component of estate planning is reviewing assets, such as 401(k)s, pensions, and savings accounts, and ensuring you have listed a beneficiary for each of these.
Elder law attorneys, with expertise in estate planning, incapacity planning, and end-of-life care for seniors, are essential in working to protect a vulnerable population.
