Why might I need an attorney practicing in the area of wills, trusts, estates and Medicaid planning?
Few things are certain in life, but death is one of them. Estate Planning is therefore something that everyone benefits from, regardless of their estate size. Furthermore, advanced directives, such as durable power of attorneys, health care power of attorneys and living wills, can avoid the need and cost of guardianships and expensive legal proceedings by empowering a trusted friend or family member to act for you if you are physically or mentally unable. Medicaid planning can often transfer assets to loved ones and avoid the depletion of all assets to pay for nursing home care.
