Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose an elder law attorney?

Hiring an elder law attorney is a big decision – it is important to work with someone who has extensive experience, and that you can trust to always have your best interests at heart. Some questions you should ask an elder law attorney before making your decision are:

Do you have experience with Medicaid planning?
How long have you been practicing elder law?
Are you able to provide estate planning services as well?
When was the last time you handled a situation like mine?

Should I hire an elder law attorney?

When dealing with Medicaid planning, estate planning, or any other aspect of elder law, there is a lot at stake. These are all highly specialized areas of law and mistakes can cause devastating effects. Hiring an elder law attorney to handle these scenarios will always be in your best interest, as they have specific experience that most other attorneys do not have.

What is the difference between elder law and estate planning?

The truth is, elder law and estate planning overlap in many ways. Both deal with management of your assets and making preparations for your future. The main difference is that elder law focuses more on planning for the use of your income and assets while you are alive, and estate planning focuses more on what will happen to your assets when you pass.

What is Medicaid estate planning?

Medicaid planning is a crucial part of long-term care planning. Since most people over the age of 65 will need long-term care at some point, and the cost of this care is a lot more than most people are prepared for, Medicaid planning can help manage these costs.
