Life Care Planning Attorney in Haddonfield

A Life Care Plan is the best way to give you control of your care and your assets as you age. By taking the time to plan for your future or the future of a beloved family member, you reduce stress and gain peace of mind. Having a Life Care Plan allows you to take charge of your future health care needs and where your assets go, rather than simply reacting to what happens as you grow older. Our Life Care Planning team at Bratton Law Group, consisting of attorneys, social workers, and a registered nurse, can help you plan for what happens when age, an illness or injury prevents you from living independently or making decisions on your own. We can also help you put a plan in place for a beloved elder who already needs long-term care. For help from a life care planning attorney in Haddonfield, NJ, call 856 644 4280.

Life Care Plans Provide Real World Benefits for You and Your Loved Ones

A Life Care Plan is a personalized plan outlining your needs and priorities, and ensuring your health care, asset distribution, and other major decisions occur based on your wishes.

At the heart of our Life Care Planning Team is an elder care coordinator that works closely with your family to help you identify current and likely future care needs. We ask the tough questions and broach difficult topics with compassion, and use the information we gather during this process to shape your Life Care Plan. This caring, empathetic process allows us to identify your priorities as well as your or your loved one’s specific needs.

Also vital to your Life Care Plan, or the plan we create for your loved one, is a strategic arrangement that provides the best care possible with the highest possible quality of life, in your preferred living situation. Depending on your family’s priorities, this may be at home, assisted living or a nursing home.

As a part of your plan, our life care planning attorneys in Haddonfield, NJ will analyze your financial situation and offer you legal options to preserve your assets while taking advantage of government health care benefits such as Medicaid, and VA benefits. We may be able to offer legal strategies that allow your heirs to inherit the money you worked hard to earn.

From the outside, it may seem that many of the components of a Life Care Plan center on ironing out legal issues for the future. However, these plans cover much more than that. These plans also offer legal protection, health care coordination, and advocacy, providing peace of mind knowing you have our knowledgeable elder care attorneys in Haddonfield, NJ and an elder care coordinator on your side.
