FAMILIES WITH LOVED ONE FACING A LONG TERM CARE SITUATION.

Our Process:

Family Discovery Meeting

Identifying where you and your loved one are on the senior spectrum.

Education and Design of your family’s 5 Year Plan

Creation and Implementation of your family’s 5 year plan.

Ongoing support as the plan is implemented.

Wealth Balancing

When you see the progression of deterioration in your loved one, that’s a sign that its time for you to act. Nothing drastic – but its definitely time for you to get yourself educated about the massive transition you and your family are entering.

You get educated now and learn the various parts of the process you may go through – so that you can recognize it up front – before it turns into a nightmare.

During most long term health care situations, families try to keep their loved ones home for as long as they can – but usually after a long and lonely struggle filled with its share of anguish and pain, a decision must be made about the next phase.

  • Do you move in with your loved one?
  • Do they move in with you?
  • How do we pay for it?
  • How do I keep my life going?
  • How do we split the caregiving?
  • My siblings don’t contribute!

Form some – the experience is a nightmare that turns their family upside down, and is the saddest thing they’ve ever experienced. For others, it a bittersweet time that they wouldn’t trade for anything.

Once you see your loved one start down this path, you’ll benefit greatly by giving yourself the gift of knowledge and preparation – so that you know what to expect in your future. Get in front of the planning that needs to be done along the way.

Our process is designed to deliver comfort, clarity and support to your family, while we quarterback team of supporters you may need to call on. Whether you coordinate this through our office or not.

Questions... click on the question and be taken to the answer!

+ Can you explain probate in simple terms?
Probate is the group of laws that society follows in determining the ownership, control and guardianship of a person’s assets and people in their lives.
+ What’s the difference between a will and a trust?
A will is a letter to the Judge in a probate case, telling the Judge how you want him to disperse your assets.

A trust avoids probate and sets up in advance the instructions your representatives will follow. With a properly crafted and funded trust you will avoid the expense and delay of probate!
+ What is “Elder Law”?
Elder law describes the area of law centered on the issues that senior citizens face during the decades of their 60’s, 70’s 80’s and beyond. It combines estate planning, familiarity with medicaid and medicare, asset protection, and other areas of focus to protect the client.
