I'm Andrew Byers and I have been practicing Elder Law and Estate Planning for over 27 years in Oakland County, Michigan. In my Elder Law and Estate Planning practice, I help middle-age and older people and their families with the following issues:

• Medicaid planning and applications to help pay for long-term care in a nursing home;
• Medicaid planning and applications to help qualify for community-based Medicaid programs that assist with long-term care outside of a nursing home
• Guardianship when a senior citizen lacks the ability to make their own medical and care decisions or are neglecting their care;
• Conservatorship when an older person is not able to manage their property or pay their bills;
• Estate planning to provide for management of assets upon incapacity and distribution of the estate upon death in an efficient manner;
• Assistance with the probate court process when someone passes away and has the type of estate that needs to be settled in probate court; and
• Settling trusts after death.

Feel free to call me; there is no charge for the initial call. We will spend a few minutes on the call to answer some preliminary questions and see if it's something I can help with. If so, we can schedule a more in-depth consultation in my office or over Zoom.
