Estate Planning & Elder Law Attorneys in Ohio

Elder care planning is a niche area of law that provides legal solutions to address the unique needs and concerns of elderly clients and their families. As elder law attorneys, we help Ohio residents handle various legal issues related to long-term care planning, nursing home care, Medicaid planning, estate plans, and public benefits. A well-crafted law plan can protect assets, attain proper succession planning, and guarantee that clients receive the necessary care without sacrificing their life savings.

An elder law lawyer possesses extensive knowledge in elder law and has demonstrated significant involvement and experience in this practice area. An experienced elder law attorney should have extensive practice in elder law and continuous professional education. Choosing an elder law attorney makes sure that clients receive professional and compassionate guidance tailored to their specific circumstances.

We approach each case with a focus on compassion and understanding, recognizing that elder care planning can be stressful and emotionally challenging.

Special needs trusts are legal instruments designed to provide for individuals with disabilities or special needs while preserving their eligibility for government benefits such as Medicaid. If your elder care plan involves caring for a loved one with special needs, our elder law attorneys can guide you through establishing and managing a special needs trust, making sure your loved one’s financial and medical needs are protected.

Medicaid planning is a crucial aspect of elder care planning in Ohio, particularly for long-term care needs. Our elder law attorneys have extensive experience overcoming the challenges of Medicaid laws to help clients access necessary benefits while protecting their assets. Proper Medicaid planning can prevent financial strain and provide quality care in a nursing home or assisted living facility.

Probate is not always necessary in elder care planning. Through proper estate planning, such as creating trusts and using beneficiary designations, we can help clients avoid probate and attain a smooth transfer of assets to their chosen beneficiaries. This approach not only saves time and money but also maintains the privacy of the estate.
