The month of May is National Elder Law Month devoted to educating seniors and their families and equipping them with valuable insights that can help families navigate problems in the future.  As an elder law firm, the Koler Law Office is proud to support National Elder Law Month. 

You may be wondering what the term “elder law” really means.  Elder Law encompasses many areas.  An attorney who focuses on elder law may be helpful to you in a number of ways, such as:

• Asset protection planning when one spouse enters a nursing or assisted living facility
• Medicaid planning and asset preservation when a parent or loved one enters a nursing facility
• Preserving assets through “look back” planning prior to needing nursing care
• Financial Power of Attorney and Healthcare Directives
• Guardianship
• Estate Planning through Wills and Trusts
• Probate and Estate administration

An Elder Law attorney can also assist you with considering how certain decisions that may seem simple, such as gifting assets or changing your estate plan may have an impact on you and your future care needs by looking at the whole picture.  As a firm that focuses on Elder Law, the knowledge we bring to this area allows us to assist you and your family through the pitfalls and areas of uncertainty many families often face when a spouse, parent or loved one needs care.  Let us help equip you with the knowledge needed to navigate this tricky area.  Take advantage of our free initial elder law consultation.  Call the Koler Law Office today.
