Mindy Stein, P.A. - Boca Raton, FL

Compassionate Elder Care Law and Estate Planning in Boca Raton

As we or our loved ones grow older, navigating the physical, emotional, and financial aspects of aging becomes a major focus. Securing proper long-term care while preserving hard-earned assets requires more than basic legal advice-it demands a deep understanding of federal regulations, state statutes, and social work principles. Mindy Stein, P.A., located in Boca Raton, Florida, is a specialized law practice dedicated exclusively to elder care law, estate planning, and probate administration. Founded by Mindy Stein, MSW, Esq., who combines her extensive background in social work with over two decades of legal advocacy, our firm provides compassionate, highly strategic, and personalized solutions for seniors and their families.

Strategic Medicaid Planning and Medicare Advocacy

The cost of nursing home care, assisted living, and in-home healthcare in South Florida can be astronomically high, quickly draining a family's lifetime savings. Medicaid can help cover these expenses, but qualifying for government benefits is incredibly complex due to strict asset and income limits, as well as the five-year lookback rule. At Mindy Stein, P.A., we specialize in proactive and crisis Medicaid planning. We design legal strategies-such as irrevocable trusts, personal services contracts, and qualified income trusts (Miller Trusts)-that allow seniors to protect their assets and qualify for Medicaid benefits without spending down their life savings. We also provide advocacy for Medicare benefits, helping clients secure the medical and long-term care coverage they deserve.

Custom Wills, Trusts, and Future Protection

A comprehensive estate plan is a powerful tool to protect your family and ensure your wishes are legally enforceable. Our estate planning services are highly tailored to the unique goals of each client. We specialize in drafting wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, special needs trusts, and durable powers of attorney. We also prepare critical advance healthcare directives and living wills, ensuring your medical wishes are clear and that your designated healthcare surrogate has the legal authority to act on your behalf if you become incapacitated. By taking a proactive approach, we help families avoid the unnecessary stress, delays, and expenses of guardianship and probate court.

Guidance Through Probate and Trust Administration

When a loved one passes away, the legal process of settling their estate can feel overwhelming during a time of grief. Our firm provides gentle, step-by-step guidance through Florida probate administration and trust administration. We help personal representatives and successor trustees understand their fiduciary duties, gather and inventory assets, resolve creditor claims, and distribute inheritances to beneficiaries according to the law. Whether your family requires summary administration for a smaller estate or formal administration for a more complex estate, our legal team ensures the process is handled efficiently, minimizing delays and potential family disputes.
