What is Michigan Elder Law? |
|
Elder law is a multidisciplinary practice focused on the needs of elders and their families. |
Elder law combines
a number of areas of law including estate planning (use of Wills, trusts, and
powers of attorney), trust and probate estate administration, Medicaid planning, long term care
planning, Veteran’s Administration aid
and attendance consulting, guardianship and
conservatorship proceedings, and tax planning.
Our practice combines knowledge
of both federal and Michigan law as they
apply to elder law. |
Elders and their families face complicated financial and legal issues as they transition
from independent living to
in-home support, senior housing, assisted living,
nursing home care, and hospice. We at Accettura & Hurwitz
assist elders
and their families choose among the myriad of available care and housing
options and help qualify
them for government assistance to pay for that care. |
Our expertise in Medicaid (the government program that covers long term nursing home care),
VA aid
and attendance (which provides a monthly pension for in-home, assisted living,
and nursing home care),
and other government programs uniquely qualified us to assist
families cover the extraordinary cost of
long term care. Our objective is to preserve the
elder’s home, car, prepaid funeral and other
financial assets without compromising
the level and quality of care. |
