Why You need a Marco Island Elder Law Lawyer
Marco Island is where people work hard, play hard, and get the most out of life. The last thing anyone wants to think about are elder law needs, but ignoring those needs could mean problems for you and your family later in life. No matter how old you are, now is the time to think about finding an elder law lawyer who can help give you the peace of mind you need to enjoy your life in Marco Island.
Protecting Your Assets
As you get older, you accrue assets that you use for a comfortable life for you and your family. You would also like to see to it that those assets provide for your family after you have passed away. But did you know that one lawsuit could empty out all of your assets? If you do not get involved in elder law planning, then you could also lose those assets to Medicaid when it comes time to check into an assisted living facility. An elder law attorney can protect your assets and make sure you can use those assets as you want.
Long-Term Care
A good elder law lawyer can help set up a program that allows you to plan for your long-term care needs as you get older without sacrificing the bank account you have built-up over the years or the family home that you love so much.
Non-Crisis Medicaid Planning
The Medicaid application process is tedious and complex. Most Marco Island residents do not learn about the potential hazards of applying for Medicaid until it is too late. The Mattar Firm can help you plan now for the time when you will need to apply for Medicaid. The sooner you start planning for Medicaid, the more of your assets you will get to protect and keep.
Crisis Medicaid Planning
If you avoid non-crisis Medicaid planning, then you will probably start hearing some horror stories about Medicaid as it comes time for you to transition to an assisted living facility. Instead of panicking, you should contact an elder law lawyer and take the steps necessary to preserve the assets you have set aside for your family’s future.
The comfort level you enjoy later in life depends directly on the actions you take when you are younger. The compassionate elder law attorneys at The Mattar Firm can answer all of your questions and give you peace of mind.
