What is elder law? This term covers a number of different legal and practical issues that affect the elderly, their caretakers, friends and family members. Some of the common issues involve, health care decisions, estate and financial planning, guardianship as well as end-of-life issues and elder abuse. While some of these issues can be anticipated and planned for, some are unexpected and sudden.
Nursing home care can cost on the average $10,000 to $12,000 a month, depending on where you live. The majority of people end up paying for long term nursing home care until they are out of assets, and then turn to Medicaid to pay for the care. However, with some planning and acquired knowledge, the assets can be protected and benefits received earlier. This not only gives the family peace of mind that their loved one is taken care of, but also give the loved one assurance that his or her hard earned life savings will be passed to their family.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program that is available for anyone over the age of 65 years old, with no financial requirements or regulations. Because this is a health insurance program, the coverage of nursing home care is very hard to qualify for, as with most traditional health insurance plans. With this program, the benefits come in “parts,” and there are three primary parts: Part A (hospital coverage), Part B (medical coverage), and Part D (prescription drug coverage). We’re here to help you navigate Medicare for your long term care.
Medicaid is a Federal health care program most closely related to the welfare program. This program is funded mainly by the federal government but administered by the state. There are income and asset requirements that must be met to qualify, and each state has its own unique requirements. Our office attempts to make this process easier for the applicants by providing our clients knowledge of the available options, including whether Medicaid benefits are an option or not. While pre-planning is always best we can still assist if you find yourself in a crisis.

Probate is the legal process whereby the Court appoints an executor to for the estate to collect the assets of the decedent, make sure all bills and expenses are paid, including the Pennsylvania inheritance tax, and distributes the remaining assets pursuant to the wishes of the decedent as outlined in their Will. If a person dies without the benefit of a Will the Commonwealth has a set of rules determining who can act as the administrator of the estate and how assets will be distributed. We serve Lancaster and its surrounding areas, helping our Lancaster clients preserve their belongings for their posterity.
