What Is Elder Law?

Elder law focuses on the legal needs of older adults and their caregivers. Unlike general practice attorneys, elder law attorneys concentrate specifically on issues affecting seniors, including:

At our Orange Park office, we take a holistic approach that considers not just legal documents, but the entire family situation—including finances, housing, health care needs, and family dynamics.

Elder Law Services in Orange Park

Our Orange Park elder law attorneys provide comprehensive services tailored to the needs of Clay County seniors and their families:

Long-Term Care Planning

The average cost of nursing home care in Clay County exceeds $10,000 per month—a financial burden few families can sustain long-term. Our attorneys develop strategic plans to help Orange Park seniors pay for long-term care while preserving their hard-earned assets for their spouse and heirs.

Medicaid Planning and Application

Florida’s Medicaid system provides crucial benefits for long-term care, but qualification requires careful planning. Many Orange Park seniors mistakenly believe they must spend all their savings before qualifying. Our attorneys help Clay County residents legally qualify for Medicaid while protecting significant assets.

Estate Planning for Seniors

Estate planning for seniors differs significantly from planning for younger adults. Our Orange Park attorneys create customized estate plans that address the unique concerns of older adults, including healthcare decisions, long-term care considerations, and protecting assets from nursing home costs.

Veterans Benefits

Many Orange Park seniors who served our country are unaware of the VA benefits available to help pay for long-term care. Our elder law attorneys help Clay County veterans and their surviving spouses access Aid and Attendance benefits, which can provide over $2,400 monthly toward care costs.

Guardianship Services

When a loved one can no longer make sound decisions due to dementia or other cognitive impairments, guardianship may become necessary.

Our Orange Park attorneys guide Clay County families through this complex legal process while focusing on preserving the dignity and autonomy of the individual to the greatest extent possible.
