As an elder law attorney, I help seniors and their families to prevent the devastating financial effects of long-term care with Medicaid planning (which is the process of legally restructuring the elder's savings, so they do not have to spend all their savings on nursing home care), applying for Medicaid, and avoiding Medicaid estate recovery.

I also help people in midlife or who are retired with planning for incapacity and distributing their homes and savings after they pass away with uncomplicated, affordable and effective estate planning, which may involve financial powers of attorney, medical directives, wills, trusts, and other straightforward estate planning instruments.

My work as an elder law attorney also involves representing guardians and conservators in probate court, helping personal representatives settle probate court decedent's estates, and the administration and settlement of trusts.

Located in Troy, Michigan, the law office of Andrew Byers, PLC serves people with estate planning and elder law needs in Troy and surrounding areas including Royal Oak, Clawson, the rest of Oakland County and throughout the Metro Detroit area.
