Late in life, mental or physical disabilities may affect one’s ability to make decisions, which is why general estate planning is a much-needed service. We can provide the assistance you need in handling various legal issues and elder care options relating to your senior’s future.

These include:

• General estate planning using wills and trusts, including special needs trusts
• Creating and establishing powers of attorney, such as general and durable powers of attorney that will designate someone to act on behalf of your elder when he or she is unable to communicate decisions
• Legacy planning, a strategy for passing on not only financial assets but practical instructions for many household issues to the next generation
• Health care and its planning, including guidance about long-term care, Medicare/Medicaid, Arizona’s Long-Term Care System (ALTCS), health care powers of attorney, and more
• Financial planning for such matters as assisted living communities or nursing home care, income, estate, and gift taxes
• The drafting of living wills (health care or advance directives)
• Help in finding full-time nursing home care or assisted living facilities
