ELDER LAW

Supervising Attorney: Thomas M. Owlett

Medicaid Planning: We counsel clients at both the pre-planning and Medicaid Application stages. At the pre-planning stage, we advise clients on gifting and alternative ways to pay for nursing home care, including long-term care insurance. At the Application stage, we advise clients on how to obtain financial assistance for the quality care needed, yet preserve assets for the at-home spouse. We also assist clients in completing the Medicaid Application and represent clients at the eligibility hearing.

Powers of Attorney: We prepare financial and medical powers of attorney for our clients and advise them on the benefits and detriments to executing such a document.

Living Wills:We prepare Living Wills either as a separate document or as part of a Durable Health Care Power of Attorney. We also provide miniature laminated Living Wills to our clients to carry with them at all times.
