Medicaid Planning
If the time comes that your loved one can no longer live without a higher level of care than you are able to provide, you may be faced with the decision to move them to an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. This can be very stressful both emotionally and financially. There are programs available to assist with the costs. Greenhalgh Legal Services provides a full range of services for elderly individuals who are facing the prospect of long term care and who seek to maximize asset protection strategies under today's ever-changing laws. If you or a loved one appear headed for long term care, please contact our office immediately for a free consultation
Is your Estate Plan Up to Date?
Estate planning is the process of creating the documentation that identifies your plan to insure your wishes are carried out and instructions for your assets and your care upon your incapacitation or death.
Proper estate planning can:
- Minimize taxes, court costs, and legal fees
- Name a guardian for your children
- Provide instructions for your care if you become incapacitated
- Provide instructions for passing on your assets
- Provide life insurance, disability insurance, and long-term care insurance
- Provide for the transfer of your business(es)
- Provide for loved ones in various situations
- Better preserve your estate
- Avoid family disputes
Contact our office today to review your current estate plan or have a new consultation.
