Do you have your legal documents in place to protect you and your family in the event of an accident, illness or even death?. If not, the decisions for your well-being can be made by the State, and not by your loved ones, who have your best interest at heart. Most of us prefer not to think about what may happen or even discuss what may happen to us if we are in an accident or die.
But avoiding it, you place yourself and your family in jeopardy. Getting your key estate planning documents in place will give you and your family peace of mind.

One night I received a call from my mother-in-law.
It was late at night.
It was unusual for the phone to ring that late, so I answered the phone, with a feeling of foreboding, only to hear my mother-in-law's voice say that her father, my wife's grandfather, had fallen.
Shortly after that, he was taken to the hospital.
After medical treatment at the hospital, he was taken to a nursing home.
I was the attorney in the family, so everything was left to me.
During this time, I had lots of questions: what options were available; what if granddad had to stay in the nursing home, would we be able to find a good one and would he get good care there; and if so, how were we going to pay for it?

Not only is it important to have an elder law attorney who understands the technical part of the law, it's also critical to have an attorney who understands the emotional aspects.
David's calling to elder law started in the late 90's when his grandfather fell and ended up in a nursing home.
David tried to find answers to basic questions.
What options were available?
How do I find good nursing home care?
How am I going to pay for the nursing home?
However, nothing was available.
Consequently, he founded the law office to help others eliminate their stress, fear and uncertainties dealing with these issues.

You may be dealing with fear, trauma or new responsibilities, such as caregiving.
Over the years, we have seen many spouses and children quit their jobs to cope with their new circumstances.
However, you need to transition from caregiver to care advocate.
You cannot afford to lose your health, become overwhelmed, and then eventually burn out.
