Common Elder Law Issues in Philadelphia, PA

We can help you with even the most complex elder care and elder law issues. Call us today to learn more about getting help with:

Immediate Crisis Intervention

Sometimes an elder law concern develops into a crisis before you realize it. We can provide immediate crisis intervention services or help you address your emerging elder care needs. This may include assisting you with:

Reporting and protecting your loved one from suspected elder abuse
Creating or discussing advanced health care directives
Determining if you need to establish guardianship and conservatorship
Figuring out how to pay for around-the-clock care, assisted living, or a nursing home placement

Establish Guardianship or Conservatorship

If your aging loved one is unable to continue making medical or financial decisions on their own, and there is no plan in place for someone to handle these decisions, you may need to consider the guardianship or conservatorship process. We can also help create a durable power of attorney that allows you to name an agent to make decisions in case you are ever in this position so that you can avoid guardianship.

Life Care Planning

Life Care Planning allows us to address both your current and future healthcare needs. We can put a plan in place that serves as a roadmap for your future care, letting you make decisions today in case you are not able to when the time comes. This gives you control of your quality of life and your family’s financial future, no matter what happens to your health in the future.

Medicaid Planning

Many people eventually need assisted living or nursing home care as they age. This type of around-the-clock care is expensive, and most families rely on Medicaid to pay for it.

We will attempt to protect your nest egg from the Medicaid spend down if you or a family member goes into a nursing home. We can put legal strategies in place that protect some or all of your assets from Medicaid, allowing you to still pass your hard-earned money on to your heirs. The sooner we get started on Medicaid Planning for your family, the more assets we can protect.
