Elder Law is a specialized area of legal practice focusing on the needs of older adults and their families. This field encompasses a wide range of legal matters, including estate planning, guardianship, healthcare planning, long-term care planning, and protection of rights and assets. The goal of Elder Law is to help seniors navigate the legal complexities of aging, ensuring their rights are protected and their later years are managed with dignity and respect.
At D’Angelo Law Associates, we offer comprehensive Elder Law services tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by seniors and their families. Our services include Estate Planning, essential for ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing. We also assist with the creation of Wills and Trusts, helping to manage and protect your assets and legacy.
Healthcare Planning is a critical component of our services. We help clients prepare Advance Directives and Living Wills, ensuring their healthcare preferences are respected. In addition, we assist with the selection and establishment of Powers of Attorney, allowing clients to designate someone they trust to make decisions on their behalf if they become unable to do so.
Guardianship is another key area of our practice. We provide guidance and legal assistance for families seeking to establish guardianship for a senior who is no longer able to make decisions independently. This process is handled with sensitivity and respect for the individual’s dignity and autonomy.
We also specialize in Long-Term Care Planning, helping clients explore options for long-term care, including nursing home care and in-home care. Our attorneys advise on ways to finance long-term care, including the use of private funds, insurance, and government benefits like Medicaid.
Elder Law services are essential for anyone advancing in age and wishing to prepare for the legal issues that may arise. It’s particularly important for individuals and families facing health challenges, those concerned about asset protection and inheritance, or those needing assistance with long-term care planning. Elder Law services are also vital for families who may need to establish guardianship for an elderly loved one.
The process begins with a consultation at D’Angelo Law Associates, where we assess your specific needs and goals. We then develop a customized legal strategy that may include drafting necessary documents, guiding you through the guardianship process, or planning for long-term care.
