Customized Wills, Trusts, and Wealth Preservation

An effective estate plan is much more than a set of documents; it is a roadmap that reflects your values and protects your loved ones. Our experienced attorneys take the time to understand your unique family dynamics and goals. We specialize in designing customized tools such as:

• Wills and Trusts: Preparing clear wills and revocable living trusts to avoid the stressful and costly probate court process.
• Powers of Attorney: Establishing healthcare and financial powers of attorney to ensure trusted individuals can make vital decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
• Asset Protection: Implementing proven strategies to shield your wealth and family business from unexpected creditors and excessive taxation.
• Special Needs Planning: Designing specialized trusts that protect the financial future of children with special needs without jeopardizing government benefits.

Dedicated Elder Law and Medicaid Planning

As we or our parents age, the cost of long-term healthcare and nursing home stays can quickly deplete life savings. Our elder law practice is committed to proactive Medicaid planning and asset protection. We help families understand their options for funding nursing home care, applying for Medicaid benefits, and qualifying for VA pension programs. Partner Sarah J. Kons, who is accredited with the Department of Veterans Affairs, works closely with seniors to navigate these complicated government programs, ensuring their medical needs are met while preserving their legacy.
