 ElderLaw
Associates, P.A. has expertise in the area of elder law
and disability planning. Clients are assisted in planning
for the possibility of disability, incapacity, home
health, and/or nursing home placement. The Durable Power
of Attorney and a Health Care Surrogate are simple and
inexpensive ways to avoid the stress, humiliation, and
cost of a guardianship proceeding in court.
When an individual is determined to be
incapacitated by the local court, he or she will lose
certain fundamental legal rights to which we are all
entitled. For that reason, the initiation of guardianship
proceedings should be considered only after all other
possible alternatives have been explored
The Durable Power of Attorney is
a fully detailed document providing legal authority for
the client's designee to act on the client's behalf when
the client is unable physically and/or mentally to act on
his or her own. The language in this Power of Attorney
relates distinctly to the elderly or disabled client.
A Designations of Healthcare
Surrogate document allows the individuals to choose a
loved one to make vital healthcare decisions for them when
they are unable to make them for themselves. It holds up
in all healthcare arenas and is very detailed in nature.
The firm advises and assists clients in
planning for Long-Term Care Insurance, a vital
asset preservation tool. Long-Term Care Insurance can
reduce the financial risk of long term disability and
provide financial security for your loved ones..
Our office advises our clients on the
best long-term care living arrangements for their
particular situation and helps with facility placement.
Our Geriatric Care Managers can identify the most
appropriate placement and facilitate movement and
admission therein. Geriatric Care Management Services
