Services We Provide
Wills & Trusts
Wills and trusts are tools to ensure that your affairs are properly wound up once you pass away. Through proper estate planning, our firm can help ensure that your things and funds pass to who you want in the least expensive and least stressful manner.
Powers of Attorney
Are you above the age of 18? Then you are in need of Powers of Attorney, both General Durable (financial) and Healthcare. Powers of Attorney allow your family to get things done without having to involve the court down the road and are the most important piece of a quality estate plan.
Probate
Sometimes things don’t go to plan. Probate court is there to determine where a deceased person’s things are supposed to go. It’s incredibly important to seek the advice of an attorney well before the year anniversary of a person’s death. Probate is stressful, but we can help ease that burden.
Long Term Care Planning and Medicaid Asset Protection
If you believe that you or a loved one are at least 5 years from needing to go into skilled care, you have more options to safeguard your hard-earned assets. Many attorneys use irrevocable trusts to try to protect your assets, but not all irrevocable trusts are created equal.
Emergency Nursing Home and Crisis Medicaid Planning
How to pay for the nursing home may keep you up at night, but we have answers. If a loved one is currently in or is needing to go into a nursing home, Fortified Elder Law can typically help save all assets to a healthy spouse or about half to a client’s family. This is a complicated process that requires an expert elder law attorney. If you’re considering applying for Medicaid, doing a Division of Assets, or a “spend down,” it’s best to reach out to our firm for advice before you apply. We can help!
