Medicaid Planning For The Nursing Home

The cost of long-term care in a nursing home is more than $10,000.00 per month in Metro Detroit. I help my clients legally and effectively protect their savings from the costs of a long nursing home stay with comprehensive Medicaid planning services.

Medicaid Applications

My elder law practice includes Medicaid application assistance, ensuring thorough preparation and submission of all required documents. I help seniors navigate eligibility requirements, protect assets, and secure benefits, providing peace of mind during the application process.

Medicaid Planning For Community Services For The Elderly

My Medicaid planning services are tailored to help you access important community-based care. I help with eligibility assessment, application preparation, and long-term care planning to ensure you receive the comprehensive support and services you need while protecting your assets.

Alzheimer's And Dementia Planning

People with Alzheimer's disease and their families face special legal, financial, and caregiving needs.

Guardianship & Conservatorship

When a loved one becomes incapacitated and does not have an estate plan in place, establishing guardianship or conservatorship may be required to have legal authority to protect their well-being and manage their affairs. I help my clients with the legal process of becoming guardian or conservator, making sure the best interests of the elder are upheld.

Family Agreements

If an elderly parent is paying you rent or for care or if you are loaning an elderly person money, these agreements should be put in a legal format to avoid problems with other family members and the government.

Estate Planning

Whether you are concerned about taking care of your family or planning for, or in, retirement, I provide personalized estate planning services. My goal is to create a comprehensive plan that reflects your wishes and safeguards your future. Services include Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and advance healthcare directives.

Estate Planning When Seriously Ill

My estate planning services for those with a serious illness are designed to provide peace of mind and security so you get back to focusing on your health.

Probate & Estate Settlement

Losing a loved one is difficult enough without the added stress of settling a probate estate. I strive to provide efficient probate services to guide you through the administration of your loved one's estate. My goal is to ease your burden and ensure a smooth transition during this challenging time.

Trust Settlement

Trust administration requires attention to detail and a thorough understanding of the trustee's fiduciary duties. I represent people who have been appointed trustee of a trust, making sure the trust is executed faithfully and under the law.
