PRACTICE AREAS

ELDER LAW

We are living longer, and as we get older our lives are changing. Some changes affect our ability to remain independent. Whether the issues involve capacity and decision making, short lived emergencies or long term care Medi-Cal, you deserve a solution that meets your needs. Dedicated to Elder Law issues, such as Medi-Cal, we understand how to use creative techniques within the Medi-Cal rules in order to protect you and your family. We do not want anything to stand in the way of the health care you deserve.

PRE-PLANNNG

Powers of attorney for both health and finances are vital tools in keeping control of your life when you’re facing a crisis. Advanced health care directives are documents that permit another individual to make medical decisions for you and to gain access to your medical information, so that informed decisions can be made for you. Financial powers of attorney are documents through which an individual, called the "principal," grants authority to another individual, called the "agent," to make financial decisions for you.

ESTATE PLANNING

When it comes to estate planning, there are two important areas to consider:

Lifetime planning: coming up with a lifetime plan will help you prepare for the issues, concerns, and situations you will meet during your life. We will help you with powers of attorney, for both health care decisions, and financial decisions.

Estate planning: the planning of your estate will involve wills, trusts, and other planning tools, and will allow you to plan what will happen to your assets after your passing.

Whether you are concerned with lifetime planning, estate planning, or both, we will use a variety of tools to tailor a specific plan to meet your needs and the needs of your family:
