EXPERIENCE YOUR FUTURE, YOUR WAY
Elder Law (also known as Elder Care Law) is the practice of law focusing on the needs of the elderly, mostly during their lifetime, to ensure that their estate planning, medical, and housing needs are addressed as they grow older. As a Florida Bar Board Certified Elder Law Attorney, Kathleen Flammia advises clients on a vast range of Elder Law matters, including:
- Planning for long-term care, including how to pay for in-home health care, assisted living facilities or nursing home care
- Medicaid Planning and other public benefits such as Medicare
- Veterans Benefits and how Medicaid affects veterans seeking the Aid & Attendance benefit
- Surrogate decision-making, including Durable Powers of Attorney
- Asset Protection
- Probate and Trust Administration
Elder Law also frequently involves designing and drafting Estate Planning documents. These documents often include a Will, a Revocable or Irrevocable Trust, a Durable Power of Attorney, a Health Care Surrogate, a HIPAA Release, a Living Will, and a Pre-Need Guardian.
Basic estate planning ensures that when you pass away, the assets you have will be passed in the manner you wish. Yet, as an Elder Law firm, our work with senior citizens and their families allows them to stay independent and in control for as long as possible through a variety of strategies, including Life Care Planning.
