Elder law is a specialty focused on planning for aging and disability, including legal tools that help manage care and finances. It brings together estate planning, healthcare directives, and protective arrangements to support families in Wisconsin.
A trust can help manage assets, avoid probate, and provide for loved ones where needed. Whether you need one depends on your goals, finances, and family situation; we can review options with you.
A power of attorney gives someone you trust authority to handle your finances or healthcare decisions if you are unable. There are different types and deployment rules; we help choose and prepare the appropriate documents.
Medicaid planning involves understanding eligibility, asset protection, and care options. We guide you through timing, documents, and strategies that comply with Wisconsin rules.
Guardianship is a court-ordered arrangement to appoint someone to care for a person or their property. We can explain when guardianship is appropriate and how to pursue it with minimal disruption.
Review documents at least every few years and after major life events. Changes in health, finances, or family circumstances warrant updates.
A current document list, asset information, and any questions you have help us tailor the plan. Bring notes about care preferences and family considerations.
Fees vary with complexity and services; we provide a clear estimate during the initial meeting. We aim for transparent pricing and a written plan outlining next steps.
It’s possible to handle estate planning without an attorney, but mistakes can lead to unintended consequences or probate delays. Working with an elder law attorney helps ensure your wishes are accurately reflected.
We offer compassionate guidance tailored to Wisconsin laws and local resources. Call (864) 412-1550 to schedule a consultation or visit our Salem office.
