Handling the Legal Needs of the Elderly and Their Families
Although many people think of elder law as just one area of law, it involves many different areas. Elder law can include Medicaid planning, Social Security and retirement income and disability planning, long-term care and nursing home care, as well as protecting the rights of nursing home residents.
At Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC, our Cincinnati law firm is well equipped to handle a wide variety of elder law needs. Since 1967, we have strived to offer distinctly personal attention to each and every client. This means that we work directly with you to create strategies that are best for you and the elderly person in your life.
Medicaid Planning
Much of our law practice in the area of elder law is dedicated to Medicaid planning. People often visit Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC because they are worried about a loved one who may be going — or who has just gone — into a nursing home. They seek our guidance on how to prepare financially.
We offer a wide range of assistance. Our attorneys explain how federal and Ohio laws may affect your loved one. We discuss specific plans, like gifting reorganizing assets and completing Medicaid applications, making smart decisions that protect your loved one financially. We also discuss the long-term ramifications of the decisions you make now, including Medicaid estate recovery and patient liability for expenses.
Much of our elder law work overlaps with the estate planning services we offer. We help people create powers of attorney, healthcare directives and special needs trusts so that they can have peace of mind that things will be taken care of in the future.
If you are in need of legal guidance in an elder law matter, work with a law firm that provides distinctly personal attention to clients throughout the greater Cincinnati area. We invite you to contact a lawyer at Beckman Weil Shepardson LLC at 513-621-2100.
