Trust an Experienced Bradenton Wills and Trusts Lawyer

I work exclusively in elder law, giving all of my attention to each individual family’s long-term care planning needs and desires in the following areas:

  • Estate planning: These documents can seem daunting. With an experienced attorney, they do not have to be.
  • Probate: This is a scary word. Instead of spending tons of money to avoid it, I can help you determine what the most affordable options are for you and your family.
  • Power of attorney: While these documents are common, they should not be signed lightly. I can help you make the most of your power of attorney document.
  • Wills and trusts: Understanding the difference between these two plans is the key to a financially sound future for you and your family.
  • Contested wills and estates: This area of law can be complex and arduous. Facing these challenges head-on, I work with my clients, explaining their options in detailed, easy-to-understand language.
    Special needs trusts: If a loved one has special needs, it is important to protect him or her in the event of a crisis so he or she has access to his or her inheritance while still being protected under any government aid.
  • Guardianship: If a loved one loses the ability to make the best decisions for himself or herself, I can help put the decision-making abilities into the hands of someone who has his or her best interests at heart.
  • Medicaid planning: Planning and qualifying for Medicaid while protecting your assets is a process that requires an experienced attorney.
  • Nursing home/assisted living Medicaid: To strike a balance between finding the best possible living arrangements is important while obtaining the benefits to which you are eligible.
