As one client recently shared, “We went to Jarvis Elder Law Attorneys a few years ago to set up our trust, wills, and powers of attorney. When I recently had to apply for Medicaid for my husband, they answered all of my questions and helped me navigate this confusing process with kindness and compassion.” — Sharon Eaton

What Is Elder Law and Why It Matters in Dublin, Ohio
Elder law focuses on the legal and financial issues that come with aging. It covers Medicaid planning, powers of attorney, guardianships, estate planning, and long-term care coordination. The goal is to protect your assets, your independence, and your right to make choices about your own care.
In Dublin, families are planning earlier than ever. Many are learning that waiting until a crisis makes things harder and more expensive.
Ohio’s Medicaid system has a five-year lookback rule, which means last-minute transfers can cause penalties or ineligibility for care. A good elder law plan prevents those issues by setting up trusts, updating titles, and documenting care wishes long before they’re needed.
Franklin County is one of the fastest-growing senior populations in the state, which means more families are handling these challenges each year. Local cases often involve coordinating with Franklin County Probate Court for guardianship filings or working with healthcare providers and care facilities to manage costs.
Without careful planning, long-term care can quickly consume savings. The average assisted living cost in the Columbus area is about $5,000 per month, and Dublin alone has 11 licensed facilities serving older adults. Elder law makes sure those transitions are managed legally, efficiently, and without unnecessary financial loss.
At Jarvis Law Office, elder law is about preparing for life’s next stage with confidence. Families who plan early find that it brings peace of mind, not only for them, but for their children who may need to step in later.
