Protect Your Assets from Nursing Home Costs
It's a shame when families save for years, only to find out that their life savings are at risk if their health fails. Nursing home costs can run $7,000 per month or more, and your entire life's savings could be gone in a matter of months if you or your loved one needs nursing home care. Smart, informed families are discovering that there are still steps they can take to protect their assets, but they must act before a crisis occurs. |

Assistance qualifying for Medicaid
When considering moving a spouse, parent or other loved one to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or nursing home one usually has two main concerns: #1 Can I gain admission to a quality facility in a timely manner? And #2 When qualifying for Medicaid, how much money may the patient, spouse or family legally retain? Let us help you keep as much of your money as the law allows. Call today to schedule a consultation- don't wait until it's too late. |

Estate Planning
Estate planning is the process of planning and providing for the proper disposition and administration of an estate and includes preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney and other tools needed to allocate estate assets and personal powers of individuals. |
|
Wills and Trusts
A will directs the distribution of a person's probate assets and simplifies the transfer of his or her property upon death. Probate is the process by which a will is given effect upon a person's death. A trust also directs disposition of property upon a person's death, but is often more expensive to establish. A living trust requires transfer of assets to the trust during the owner's lifetime to be effective. |
|
Probate
Probate is the action or process of proving before a competent judicial authority that a document offered for official recognition and registration as the last will and testament of a deceased person is genuine. The process also transfers legal title of property from the estate of a person who is now deceased to the appointed, specified heirs. The probate process in Virginia is relatively inexpensive and simple, provided the deceased made a proper will, drafted with the specific requirements of the Virginia Probate Code. |
|
Guardianships
A guardian is one who has been entrusted by the law with the care of another person or for the person's estate or for both. We represent clients in guardianship proceedings - from securing a guardianship to protecting the estate or personal well-being of an individual, to contesting a guardianship when one may not be appropriate. |
|
Heirships
An Heirship Proceeding may be necessary to resolve questions regarding the disposition of property owned by someone who died without a will. This process establishes the individuals who are entitled to receipt of property pursuant to the rules of descent and distribution set forth in the Virginia Probate Code. |
