Practice Areas – Call 763-213-0714
Elder law, unlike other practice areas in the legal arena, is focused first on the client and then on the specific area of law. Therefore, elder law attorneys need to be more attuned to issues of the client and the specifics related to the aging process, health issues and family issues. All of these factors interact with a variety of areas of law that need to be considered.
An action plan can be tailored to address the specifics of a person’s situation so that the best result can be had for the client. Elder law cases may include issues regarding:
- Medicaid / Medical Assistance benefits
- Medical Assistance / Medicaid Planning
- Special Needs Trusts
- Pooled Trusts
- Asset Protection
- Medicare benefits
- Social Security benefits
- Estate Planning
- Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Directives
- Nursing Home Placement
Elder Law Services, PLLC is a compassionate and knowledgeable elder law firm that can help you achieve the best results for everyone involved with these issues.
The rising costs of nursing home care and the uncertainties of the decision-making process regarding nursing home placement requires full knowledge of the options available to the individual and to the families involved. It can be complicated and overwhelming to determine on your own what options you may have in the areas of medical assistance for yourself or an aging family member. Elder Law Services, PLLC can help you sort out the options you may not realize you have in regards to assistance with nursing home payment and nursing home financing. Legal instruments such as special needs trusts and pooled trusts can provide significant relief, along with other techniques, from the burdens of asset limitations that the rules set forth.
