Elite Elder Law and Medicaid Planning

Elder law is a highly specialized legal arena focused on the incredibly unique, constantly evolving needs of older adults and their families. As we age, the terrifying prospect of needing incredibly expensive long-term care becomes a pressing reality. Many families are shocked to discover that traditional Medicare absolutely does not cover the astronomical costs of nursing homes or extended assisted living facilities. 🏥 This is precisely where our expertise as Long-Term Care and Medicaid Planning attorneys becomes invaluable. We help you navigate the incredibly complex, highly restrictive federal and state Medicaid eligibility rules. If you are looking to find an attorney who can legally and ethically structure your finances to qualify for essential Medicaid benefits while simultaneously protecting your life savings and your family home from devastating government estate recovery, Lisa Ellis is the steadfast advocate you need in your corner.

Dedicated Special Needs and Guardianship Counsel

For families who have a loved one with a disability, the future can seem incredibly uncertain and frightening. We possess profound expertise in drafting highly specialized Special Needs Trusts and ABLE Accounts, ensuring that your vulnerable family member receives vital financial support without ever jeopardizing their essential government benefits, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Medicaid. 👪 Furthermore, when an adult child with a severe disability turns eighteen, or when an elderly parent suffers from severe cognitive decline due to Alzheimer's or dementia, legal intervention often becomes absolutely necessary. We compassionately guide families through the highly complex, emotionally sensitive process of establishing Adult Guardianships and Conservatorships in King County. We seamlessly handle the arduous court proceedings, ensuring that your loved one is fiercely protected from financial exploitation and receives the exact level of medical and personal care they require.

Seamless Probate and Estate Administration
