Top 3 Reasons to Hire an Elder Law Attorney

Hiring an elder law attorney may be an excellent step in protecting your hard earned assets and getting any benefits you or your loved one may be entitled to. An elder law attorney provides support to seniors and their families by providing valuable information and resources that will impact their access to health care benefits now, and in the future. Because elder law attorneys work hand-in-hand with seniors, they understand your needs and desires while also offering a compassionate ear.

When should you call on an elder law attorney?

#1: You need help with Medicaid or Medicare

Many times, these professionals can offer one-on-one help to getting the coverage you need and deserve from these types of programs. Medicaid and Medicare are complex. If you are an older adult, blind, or facing disabilities, it is in your best interests to have a professional by your side to help you through the process of planning to obtain the benefits you deserve.

#2: You need to make estate planning decisions

Elder law attorneys commonly provide a wide range of estate planning options that includes the creation of living wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. If you’ve not created a Last Will and Testament just yet, now is the time to do so. More so, it’s important to update and maintain your plan over the long term to ensure it accurately reflects your wishes.

#3: It’s time to make long-term care decisions

As people age, it becomes more important to make key decisions about their wishes before health complications arise. Do you have a legally appointed power of attorney? Have you thought about health care directives? And, what about long-term medical care planning? These are complex concerns that require careful planning with a skilled elder law lawyer.

With the support of an experienced elder care attorney, you can gain the insight and legal support you need to ensure your wishes are always carried out. Get information, make sound legal decisions, and gain the peace of mind you need, and deserve.
