Understanding Elder Law and Why It Matters
“Elder law” is a broad area of legal practice that focuses on the unique needs of older adults and their families. It includes but is not limited to the following:
• Medicaid planning for long-term care
• Asset and income protection strategies
• Nursing home and assisted living planning
• Powers of attorney and incapacity planning
• Wills, trusts, and estate administration
• Proper Assistance with Trust Funding
• Guardianship and conservatorship
• Probate/Trust Litigation
• Veterans’ benefits and more
In Michigan, there are numerous legal tools available to help individuals qualify for Medicaid benefits without spending down everything they've worked for. These include divestment irrevocable trusts, caregiver contracts, asset transfers, income planning, sole benefit trust (SBO), and certain court actions including protective orders, just to name a few.
Our firm has the experience to advise and implement the right strategy for your specific situation, whether planning ahead or in a time of crisis. The firm understands that one size does not fit all, and that each individual and family faces their own unique circumstances.
