Long-term care planning is a process of preparing for future health care and daily living needs through legally enforceable documents and strategies. It helps you define who makes decisions, how care is funded, and when care decisions should be implemented.

Yes. Meeting with a lawyer can help ensure your plan complies with Wisconsin law and uses valid documents. A consultation also clarifies options, potential costs, and next steps so you can move forward confidently.
Documents commonly needed include powers of attorney, advance directives, wills, and, depending on your situation, trusts. We may also advise on guardianship forms and Medicaid planning documents to ensure a cohesive plan.
Starting early allows you to set preferences and name trusted agents before health issues arise. It also makes it easier to update the plan as life changes unfold.
Proper planning can help protect assets and ensure care decisions align with your values. It also reduces family stress during transitions. While no plan guarantees all costs, it can optimize resources and access to care.

People to name typically include trusted family members or professionals who understand your preferences. We discuss roles such as durable power of attorney and health care proxy and how they interact with your plan.
Most plans can be amended as needed. You can update documents after life events or changes in wishes, and we help you implement those updates smoothly.
Timeline varies with complexity and responsiveness. An initial consultation can be scheduled quickly, with drafting and finalization taking a few weeks to complete.
If you already have documents, we review them for validity and alignment with current goals. We can update or redo them as needed to fit your current situation.
