If you live in Jacksonville and were told you need to get an elder law attorney because

• You have a loved one in a hospital or rehab facility;
• You are caring for a spouse or parent at home; or
• You are faced with having to self pay for a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Then you are in the right place.

Elder law is an emerging practice area.  Elder law focuses on an elderly person’s care.  An elder law attorney addresses these common issues that families face:

• How to find the best care;
• How to pay for the best care;
• What to do with the house;
• What to do if your assets or income are too high to receive Medicaid assistance at a nursing home (without it, you’re left paying $8,000 per month);
• What to do when the nursing home workers are not doing their job when providing care;
• What benefits are available to Veterans and how to get them;
• Who to nominate to be in charge of a loved one’s care and money, and how to get past all the red tape when dealing with banks, hospitals, insurance companies, and care facilities; and
• How to avoid probate and other court headache inducing proceedings.

Elder law developed for middle class families with modest savings.  Someone with little assets can receive public services in many cases without assistance from anyone.  Wealthier families are more likely to be able to afford $8,000 a month nursing home bills while keeping the health spouse comfortable — these families are also more likely to have estate planning documents in place to avoid court involvement and other sources of “red tape.”

Take a few minutes and watch the video below where are cover the 4 critical elements that need to be addressed by any elder law attorney.

Take a few minutes and be prepared to take notes… In this video, I go over all the important issues that you need to consider if someone told you that you need an elder law attorney, or that you need a durable power of attorney, Medicaid to help with nursing costs, VA benefits, or probate avoidance.  I review and correct the misconceptions in this video.
