Estate Planning

Every Floridian, whether you are a Florida Baby Boomer or a senior, or somewhere in between, needs comprehensive Florida estate planning. Estate planning does not only contemplate the legacy you want to leave your family and your community, it all also allows you to grant legal authority during your lifetime to those individuals you trust should you become unable to make your own decisions. Trust agreements, wills, powers of attorney and healthcare documents, are all part of a comprehensive Florida estate plan. Ready to get planning? Call us at 866-7-ELDERS (866-735-3377) to set up your first meeting.

Probate

When a loved one dies in Florida owning property without a funded trust agreement, that property may need to be processed in the Florida probate court. Florida has different types of probate that a lawyer who practices in Florida estate planning, elder care law, and elder law can help you handle. We work with families in Florida and across the nation during this challenging time to reach a conclusion for the decedent’s affairs. Do you have probate questions you need answered? Call us at 866-7-ELDERS (866-735-3377) to discuss your case.

Long Term Care Planning

We know you do not want to ever leave your home to live in a Florida skilled nursing care facility. There are times, however, when our health needs will prevent us from being able to live safely at home. In those instances, we need to consider home health care, assisted-living facilities or Florida skilled nursing facilities support to make sure we are cared for and protected. The cost of these services are high but there are programs such as Florida Medicaid and VA pension that can help you pay for the care you receive each month. Don’t wait to contact our law firm at 866-7-ELDERS (866-735-3377) to get started with finding ways to pay for the high cost of Florida long-term care.

VA Representation and Pension Benefits

There are tax-free, monetary benefits available to veterans, their dependants, and surviving spouses. Although many people only think of the VA disability as a possible benefit, this is not true. Priority health care and non-service connected pension, known as VA basic improved pension, are valuable resources to Florida seniors. Additional money for housebound care or aid and attendance can help you and your loved ones pay for the cost of long-term care in the home or within a long-term care facility. If you or a loved one is a veteran with active military service call us at 866-7-ELDERS (866-735-3377) to discuss how this benefit may help you.

Trust Administration

When you create a trust, you select a trustee who will manage, handle and eventually distribute the assets held in trust to the beneficiaries when you cannot. This process is called trust administration.  Trust administration can take place during your life, if you are incapacitated, or after you death. Trust administration allows us to avoid the Florida probate process for the assets held within the trust.  We help seniors and their family members with both the creation and administration of their trusts. Give us a call at 866-7-ELDERS (866-735-3377) to discuss your case.
