The Law Firm of Sheets, Charles & Charles practices solely Elder Law. Our Elder Law Practice includes: Nursing Home Medicaid Planning; Estate Planning; Special Needs Planning; Probate/Trust Administation; and Uncontested Guardianships. Our mission is to provide the highest quality Elder Law services at the most reasonable cost to our clients. We are committed to holistic planning and the well-being of our clients to achieve their specific goals.
We strive to exceed every expectation. We are located in Evansville, Indiana, and handle cases for clients residing in Southern Indiana, including but not limited to Vanderburgh, Gibson, Warrick, Posey, Pike, Spencer, Dubois, Daviess, Perry, and Orange counties. To qualify for Medicaid coverage of long-term care, you must satisfy very complicated financial eligibility rules-rules that often can be traps for the unwary.
One of the most significant traps is Medicaid's right to recover its expenses from your estate after you die - a practice known as "estate recovery."
