Trust Reviews
Call us at (608) 355-0907 to schedule a telephone conference appointment today to make sure your current estate plan is in order.
Here are some things to keep in mind as you review your estate plan:
- Living Trusts should be reviewed with your attorney every two to three years.
- A living trust might be more beneficial to clients than a Will especially if privacy is important.
- Life events happen. If you experienced a life event since your estate plan was written, i.e. marriage, divorce, or death of someone named in your estate, you need to review you estate plan today.
- Encourage your friends and family members to get their estates in order.
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
