Bloomington Elder Law Lawyers
Preparing for the Future Today
As the American baby boomer population approaches retirement age, you may have many questions about your future. How can you achieve financial security and protect your assets? How can you ensure that your healthcare wishes are followed? What should happen if you or your loved one must go into a nursing home or other long-term care facility? What can you do if there are problems with Medicare or Medicaid?
The Bloomington, Indiana, elder law attorneys at Jones, McGlasson & Benckart, P.C., can answer your questions and help you plan for a positive future. We offer compassionate support to older adults and their families.
Medicare and Medicaid
While necessary, navigating the rough waters of Medicare and Medicaid can be difficult. Our lawyers are well versed in Medicare and Medicaid laws. We provide Medicaid planning advice to clients and represent clients in Medicare claims and appeals.
Healthcare Decisions
There are many decisions that you and your family may have to make regarding your healthcare. For example, what should happen if you become incapacitated and can no longer make decisions on your own?
We help clients proactively plan for healthcare decisions through estate planning documents, such as Advanced Care Directives / Living Wills and Powers of Attorney for Health Care Decisions. These documents allow you to declare what should happen and who should have decision-making power about your healthcare should you become unable to make decisions on your own.
Estate Planning for Older Adults
We offer the following services for older adults planning their estates:
- Wills and trusts: Wills and trusts allow you to protect your assets by declaring what should happen to them if you pass away.
- Asset preservation: We can discuss the options available to you for preserving your assets for future generations.
- Durable Powers of Attorney: We help clients maintain financial security after retirement by setting up Durable General Powers of Attorney (POA), which give named individuals the right to make financial decisions for you.
Other Services to Protect You or Your Elderly Parent
Our attorneys provide comprehensive support to elderly adults and their children. We are available to set up guardianships and conservatorships, work with health care representatives, and advise on long-term care facility placement.
