Our Elder Law Services

Though many aspects of elder law and traditional estate planning overlap, elder law maintains a strong focus on long-term care planning. Not only can we help you arrange your estate plan, but we can also think ahead to consider your future medical and healthcare needs. We can help you take advantage of the various tools available to you – such as healthcare powers of attorney and advance directives – to ensure that you are positioned for success moving forward.

Let our Okaloosa County elder law attorneys help you:

  • Draft a living will, durable power of attorney, or another long-term planning document
  • Select and appoint a legal guardian
  • Locate long-term care facilities and plan for the costs of assisted living
  • Understand your long-term care options, such as Medicare and healthcare powers of attorney
  • Create a comprehensive estate plan that addresses the needs of any minor children or adult children with special needs
  • Engage in financial planning to address housing opportunities, income, and gift tax concerns

Why Retain an Attorney?

If you are concerned about the value of retaining an elder law attorney, consider the complexities of addressing financial and legal concerns on your own.

By hiring a professional, you can ensure that you or your loved one’s assets are protected and their wishes respected, even in the midst of financial struggles or a serious medical condition. You deserve quality care – so make sure the right provisions are in place to receive the care you need.
