The area of Elder Law is often misunderstood and has been the focus of much discussion over the years. Simply stated, Elder Law is the synchronization of various professional fields: Estate Planning, Social Security / Medicare, Arrangements of Care, Financial Planning, Pre-need Arrangements, Conservatorships, and Tax Planning. There are many more professional fields that may come into play when determining the best options to preserve assets, stay in control, and maintain quality of life. Our focus centers on advocating for the aged population and their loved ones. We achieve and maximize results by providing and engaging in a collaborative forum that offers expert advice by professionals in each of the required professional areas that brings synergy to any well evaluated plan.
