Elder Law

Serving Clients in Berks County and the Surrounding Area

Are you prepared for the legal matters that arise due to aging? Growing older often forces individuals to make various medical, financial, and end-of-life decisions. This involves establishing a strategic end-of-life plan to protect your property, assets, investments, family, and future generations. Elder law is concerned about caring for our seniors, older adults, and elderly loved ones and preserving their assets.

What is Elder Law?

Elder law is an aspect of law that covers various legal issues affecting seniors and older people, their loved ones, close relatives, and caretakers. It entails representing and counseling older adults in the legal matters of estate planning. An elder law attorney can:

  • Advocate for the older adults and their family members.
  • Guide family members through important decisions that affect their elder loved ones.
  • Help senior citizens prepare for financial freedom and autonomy.
  • Handle a huge spectrum of legal matters, including guardianship, long-term care planning, Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, retirement, and other important subjects.

An experienced life care planning attorney can walk you through the estate planning process and make sure your estate planning documents are well-detailed, valid, and up-to-date.

Estate Planning

Estate planning involves making plans in advance and providing detailed instructions regarding how you want your property and assets to be managed, distributed, or disposed of when you die or after sudden incapacitation. Estate planning allows you to achieve the following:

  • Prepare for an uncertain future.
  • Protect your assets, property, investments, and interests.
  • Specify medical and end-of-life decisions.
  • Determine what happens to your estate and who will inherit your property and assets.
  • Make sufficient provision for surviving family members, spouses, and other relatives.
  • Protect investments and assets from frivolous lawsuits and creditors.
  • Help beneficiaries avoid inheritance, estate, and gift taxes.
  • Name a trusted person as your personal representative
  • Mitigate possible family disputes and conflicts regarding asset distribution.
  • Bypass probate (by creating a trust).
  • Ensure that you don't die intestate (without a will).

Creating a comprehensive estate plan can help protect your assets and family's future and get your affairs in order. A knowledgeable Pennsylvania estate planning attorney can enlighten you about your possible options and help you make intelligent decisions.

Healthcare/Long-Term Care Issues

Long-term care involves a huge selection of services aimed at helping individuals achieve their personal care and healthcare needs over a given period. With long-term care, you may be able to live safely and independently in the event of a disability, incapacitation, or medical condition that makes you unable to perform your day-to-day tasks by yourself. An experienced attorney can review your advance care planning options and determine the best course of action.

Work with an Experienced Attorney

Navigating the numerous legal matters that arise as a result of advanced age often involves several complex procedures. In the event that you become incapacitated, severely ill, unavailable, or otherwise unable to voice your exact wishes, you can protect your property, assets, and family's future by establishing a strategic end-of-life plan. An experienced elder law attorney can enlighten you about your available options and help you make intelligent decisions.

At Curran Estate & Elder Law, PLLC, we are dedicated to providing experienced legal services and guiding clients through the complexities of estate planning and elder law. As your legal counsel, we can evaluate your unique situation and explore the various legal options that may be available to you. Also, our trusted attorneys will help you draft vital end-of-life documents and outline a strategic estate plan that best suits your unique needs.

From wills to POAs to trusts and Medicaid applications I have worked with many of the Curran attorneys over the last 4 years. It started with needs for my parents and I am now getting my estate in order for the future. They are very knowledgeable in elder and estate planning and have taken the time to help me understand it as well. I have never felt pressured to do anything just informed. It all started by signing up and viewing their free webinar. I would, and have recommended them to others. All of the staff there are courteous, polite and prompt to reply when I reach out. I have learned about many things to help protect my parents assets and now my own. Highly recommend ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚
