What Elder Law Covers

Elder law addresses the legal issues affecting older adults and their caregivers. Unlike general attorneys who handle many areas, elder law attorneys focus on the specific legal, financial, and healthcare challenges that come with aging.

In Florida, elder law typically includes:

These legal tools help you make better decisions for yourself and your loved ones.

How Our Jacksonville Elder Law Attorneys Help You

Working with an elder law attorney in advance opens the door to more options and more favorable results than addressing issues only after a crisis occurs.

Protecting Your Assets While Getting Care

Nursing home care in Jacksonville costs over $13,000 per month. Without careful planning, these costs quickly drain a lifetime of savings. Our elder law attorneys help you:

  • Shield important assets while qualifying for Medicaid benefits
  • Handle Florida’s 5-year lookback period
  • Create legal strategies to protect your family home
  • Set up special trusts that safeguard wealth while ensuring care
  • Submit Medicaid applications correctly the first time

Planning for Future Care Needs

The best time to plan for long-term care is before you need it. Our attorneys help you:

  • Review different care options and payment methods
  • Build a complete plan that shields assets
  • Combine benefit programs for maximum coverage
  • Prepare legal documents that ensure your wishes are followed
  • Plan for a spouse who stays at home

Creating Senior-Focused Estate Plans

Estate planning for older adults goes beyond creating a will. Our Jacksonville elder law attorneys create thorough plans that:

  • Bypass the time and expense of probate court
  • Make sure your wishes are followed, even if you become unable to speak for yourself
  • Work with Medicaid and other benefits
  • Shield vulnerable beneficiaries
  • Address tax concerns

Supporting Families Through Guardianship

When an aging loved one can no longer make sound decisions, guardianship may become necessary. We help families:

  • Look at alternatives to guardianship when possible
  • Work through the court process
  • Protect the dignity and rights of vulnerable adults
  • Handle required reporting

With the right legal help, you can face aging challenges with confidence and peace of mind.
