Elder Law Experts

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.

We assist with all areas of Elder Law Including:

Long Term Care

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

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.

PA Medicaid

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.

Estate Planning

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 York and its surrounding areas, helping our clients preserve their belongings for their posterity.

We will Walk You Through the Entire Process Including:

  • Appointment of the personal representative
  • Asset valuation
  • Determining the order of payment of creditors
  • Complying with the terms of the Will, if there is on
  • Notices
  • Advertising of the estate
  • Filing the PA inheritance tax return and insuring all taxes are paid
  • Distributions to the beneficiaries

Medicaid Crisis

Navigating Medicaid for managed skilled care in a crisis is tricky, but you don’t have to do it alone. Bellomo & Associates are here to help you get through this tough time and get back to focusing on your family. We serve the York, PA area helping elderly Pennsylvanians get the care they need when they need it.  

We'll show you:

  • All the “must knows” to successful Medicaid planning.
  • Why it’s important to protect your assets when applying for Medicaid.
  • The unforeseen pitfalls to trying to apply for Medicaid.
  • The reasons you should never put assets into your children’s names.
  • Why your current power of attorney  may be useless if someone needs to act on your behalf to protect your assets.

You’ll also discover some of the biggest misconceptions about Medicaid such as:

  • If you need Medicaid, they can take away your home.
  • You have to give assets away to protect them from Medicaid.
  • If you give away your assets, you have to wait 60 months to qualify for Medicaid.

Trusted PA Estate Planning & Elder Law firm

I've had the pleasure as an area professional to not only attend multiple community held boot camps but also individual workshops at the firm and have always walked away with something learned. I appreciate the time and effort Jeff and his team put into educating the public on various topics they've spent years studying and practicing to help others make informed decisions. The focus on planning to avoid crisis is a top priority along with accepting clientele as part of their "family". I am now honored to be a part of the firm as a new team member never experiencing such a warm welcoming and look forward to helping accomplish their mission. Truly a one-of-a-kind, class act I'd recommend to anyone!
