Lynn St. Louis Law Office PLLC provides legal services pertaining to Elder Law and Estate Planning. Elder Law focuses on the needs of seniors and their families. It encompasses Estate Planning, but goes beyond the realm of traditional Estate Planning to address the legal and social issues affecting seniors, the disabled and vulnerable adults.
Long-Term Care concerns are often the focus of someone seeking Elder Law services. Elder Law attorneys can help seniors and their families navigate through the complex legal and social issues that arise when a loved one is in need of Long-Term Care. An Elder Law attorney is knowledgeable and may assist you in:
- Protecting your assets for your spouse and your family when you need at-home, assisted living or nursing home care.
- Obtaining Medicaid Long-Term Care benefits.
- Finding and keeping appropriate Long-Term Care.
Elder Law attorneys also provide legal counsel and guidance for those individuals with special needs. Special Needs Trusts allow a disabled person who is receiving government benefits through SSI or Medicaid to preserve those benefits, yet allow for additional funds to be set aside in a trust for the benefit of the special needs person.
