As we approach the latter part of our lives we are faced with tough questions.   These questions present perhaps more and greater challenges than the questions we dealt with during the early part of our lives.  Our technological advances in the areas of medicine and health care now make it possible to reach ages previous generations never did.  However, the new long life-spans bring with them numerous difficulties that need to be addressed, such as:

• How can I make my money last for the rest of my life?
• Will I be able to protect my assets?
• I want to leave something to my children, grandchildren and others,
  but can I do that while maintaining control of my assets?
• How will I pay for the high cost of a nursing home?
• How will I pay for assisted living?
• Can I get Medicaid?
• Can I qualify for Veteran's Benefits?
• Should I consider long-term care insurance?
• What about the purchase of an annuity?
• What does the law allow me to do to protect my assets?

These are tough questions - questions that can only be answered by a qualified elder law attorney. At Heritage Elder Law we focus on estate planning, disability planning, nursing home and assisted living planning, and Medicaid and Veteran's Benefits qualification. We can provide a free consultation to assess your particular situation. We promise to treat you as we ourselves would want to be treated and give you the same care we would give our own loved ones.
