ESTATE PLANNING
If you want to ensure that your money, home, and other "things" go to the people or organizations you love (without unnecessary cost or delay), being proactive with your estate planning is the right first step.

What happens if you live - and need care?
ELDER LAW
Unfortunately, most people these days don't die peacefully in their own beds after a long and healthy life.
The reality is that over 70% of Americans will have some sort of illness or disability that will require care.
The biggest avoidable mistake? Not preparing for this reality.
The good news is that we can help. Like you, we hope for the best... but more importantly, we help you plan for the worst.
How will we be able to afford the nursing home bill?Â

NURSING HOME MEDICAIDÂ
You've come to realize that caring for your loved one at home is not a good solution, or you are being told by medical professionals that care at home is not a responsible choice.
What now? Â
For many, a skilled nursing facility, also known as a nursing home, is the right choice.
But how do you pay for it?
We can help. We have an extensive and successful track record!
We don't have proper legal documents. Now what?Â
Â
PROBATE
If your loved one died with only a will (no revocable living trust or other type of trust), if their trust was unfunded, or they died with no estate planning at all... you may need to go through probate.
Probate is the court process that happens when we don't have proper legal documents.
This can also happen during life, when you need guardianship and/or conservatorship.

What about aid & attendance?
VETERANS IMPROVED PENSION
If care is needed and you or your spouse was a wartime veteran with at least 90 days of active service during wartime, you may qualify for the benefit known as Veterans Improved Pension.
Although this is commonly called "Aid & Attendance," the official name is Improved Pension.
Nicole Wipp, our attorney, is an Accredited Attorney with the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Do you qualify? Contact us to find out.
