Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between elder law and estate planning?
Estate planning focuses on transferring assets after death through wills and trusts. Elder law focuses on the legal and financial challenges of aging while you are alive, such as long-term care, Medicaid eligibility, and guardianship. Many firms in this directory handle both.
What is Medicaid planning?
Medicaid planning involves legally structuring your assets and income so you can qualify for Medicaid to cover long-term care costs, while preserving as much of your estate as possible. Because Medicaid rules are complex and state-specific, an experienced elder law attorney is valuable.
What is a special needs trust?
A special needs trust holds assets for a disabled beneficiary without disqualifying them from government benefits like Medicaid or SSI. Firms such as the Elder Law Center of Wisconsin and Texas Trust Law specialize in establishing these trusts.
When should I consult an elder law attorney?
It is best to plan before a health crisis. Consulting an elder law attorney early gives you more options for protecting assets and qualifying for benefits. However, attorneys can also help during a crisis, such as a sudden need for nursing home care.
