Elder Law

Incapacity can strike unexpectedly, and without warning. Strokes, brain aneurysms, and other catastrophic medical events occur every minute of every day.
Individuals with Dementia and Alzheimer's lose their capacity more slowly, and there is often time to plan in advance - if done soon enough.
What would happen if you, or your loved one, suddenly could not communicate, could not pay their bills, could not manage their affairs?

Skilled Nursing Care in California now exceeds $10,000.00 per month.
What if you or your loved one needed skilled nursing care?
Are your assets protected from the high cost of care? Or could you protect assets from State Recovery if skilled nursing care was needed?
Irrevocable Asset Protection Trusts and other "tools" are permitted in California, if created and funded properly, to hold and protect assets.
Get the Right Information so you can make a properly informed decision.

Only Medi-Cal helps pay for long term skilled nursing care in California.
The Medi-Cal eligibility requirements are strict, and often confusing.
Planning takes some time, usually a few months, to properly and legally re-arrange assets so the patient is Medi-Cal eligible.
Once Medi-Cal is approved, only a share of cost is often required.
An experienced Elder Law Attorney is invaluable in assisting with asset transfers, protecting the assets, and Medi-Cal eligibility.

Do you or your loved one require care? Can they be left alone? Are you dealing with dementia, Alzheimer's, frequent falls, or other issues?
Do you know the difference between care facilities, and the types of care available?
Do you know what insurance pays for, what you must pay for, and what Medi-cal (if eligible) will pay for?
Get the right information so you can make informed correct decisions.
