Elder Law

Elder Law Attorney – Protect your Loved Ones

Elder law encompasses all legal issues related to the elderly and their families. Whether you’re planning for your own future or helping an aging loved one, it’s important to be proactive and put certain measures in place to lessen the emotional and financial burden of any potential long-term care that may be needed.

One important component of any elder law or estate plan is Medicaid eligibility to help cover a nursing home or other costs associated with long-term care. Prices for assisted living here in Northwest Florida can reach $10,000 per month and have been known to financially ruin families. While it’s best to plan in advance to maximize opportunities to protect assets for loved ones, an experienced elder law attorney can also assist you with crisis Medicaid planning when facing immediate health needs.
