Nearly everyone has an estate, whether they know it or not.
Your estate is made up of real estate, vehicles, bank accounts, investments, life insurance, and your personal possessions.
Common estate planning documents include Last Wills and Testaments (which distribute your assets and allow you to name guardians for minor children); Powers of Attorney (where you name individuals you trust to handle your legal, financial, and health care decisions for you if you are unable), Living Wills (advance directives for end-of-life decisions), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) forms (where you name individuals with whom you are comfortable sharing your health information).

Estate Administration, sometimes referred to as Probate, is the process of collection a deceased person's assets, allowing that person's creditors to make legitimate claims, and distributing the balance of assets according to the deceased person's wishes or according to state law.
The first step after a loved one passes is to determine whether the decedent left behind a valid Last Will and Testament, sometimes referred to merely as a Will.
If so, the named Executor will swear-in before the Clerk of Court in the decedent's county of residence.

We focus our Elder Law practice on putting the power back into the hands of our aging clients.
Taking charge of your own health care and finances is indeed empowering.
We help our aging clients (and often their caretaker children) navigate the world of long-term care by laying out the options for care and the programs (like Special Assistance, Medicaid, and Veterans Benefits) that can be used to support their care.
We protect as much of our clients assets as we can and walk them entirely through the process of qualifying for whatever programs will be beneficial.

If you have a family member who will require assistance throughout adulthood due to physical, mental, or emotional challenges, we offer legal tools and guidance to that loved one's entire support team (whether family, friends, or paid caregivers) to improve the quality of life for your loved one.
Improved quality of life often involves protecting your loved one's assets, qualifying for any and all learning programs to encourage independence, and qualifying for financial programs which will help you afford better care for a longer period of time.
