Medicaid Planning
Medicaid benefits represent a promise to our senior citizens. Many falsely believe that they can qualify for Medicaid only if they have no assets. Initiated early enough, Medicaid planning can help you preserve what you’ve worked to gain, and still qualify for Medicaid benefits. It is best to begin Medicaid planning more than 5 years before eligibility. Contact SI Elder Law, LLC, to start today.
Probate Law
At SI Elder Law, LLC, we believe that the wishes of the departed as expressed in their wills should be respected and followed as closely as possible. We work with people to legally establish their desires for distribution of their estates. We also help family members protect their best interests after a death, as well as the best interests of the deceased person whose estate has come into question. If you have questions about the distribution of your estate or that of a family member, SI Elder Law, LLC, can make sure your interests are represented fairly and vigorously.
Guardianship
When the time comes that an elderly person requires assistance with the tasks and decisions of daily living, a guardianship sets out the legal relationship between a guardian and the disabled adult. An SI Elder Law, LLC, attorney can help you obtain documentation of disability, petition for a declaration of incapacity, and seek a court’s guardianship appointment. We also help forward-thinking seniors establish plans for needs that may lie ahead. Contact SI Elder Law, LLC, for help obtaining the protection your elderly oved one needs.
