Elder law is a field of practice that helps people plan for aging, disability, and end-of-life care. It combines elements of estate planning, healthcare directives, and financial considerations to protect you and your family. Working with a local attorney ensures plans align with Wisconsin laws and your unique family needs.
While you can prepare basic documents on your own, elder law involves complex rules around Medicaid planning, guardianship, and asset protection that benefit from professional guidance. An attorney can help ensure your documents reflect current laws and your personal wishes.
Recent wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and any guardianship or conservatorship documents. A list of banking and retirement accounts, insurance, and a summary of family legal relationships.
Medicaid planning helps eligible individuals cover long-term care costs while protecting assets for a spouse or heirs. It involves reviewing income, resources, and timing of applications to maximize benefits under Wisconsin programs.
If capacity is lost, documents like durable power of attorney and advance healthcare directives can designate trusted decision makers. Guardianship or conservatorship may be used in certain situations, and an attorney can guide you through the process.
Guardianship is a legal process to appoint someone to make personal and financial decisions for someone who cannot. It is generally sought when there is no advance directive or power of attorney in place, and it requires court involvement.
Not all plans avoid probate, but certain instruments like trusts can help. A well-drafted estate plan may minimize probate or streamline its administration. An attorney can structure assets to fit your goals and Wisconsin law.
Review your plan after major life events such as marriage, birth of a child, illness, relocation, or a significant change in assets. We recommend periodic reviews every few years to keep documents aligned with current laws and wishes.
A list of personal and financial information, including assets, debts, and current documents you already have. Bring family details, your goals for care, and any questions you want to ask during the meeting.
