1 mile west of the Chicago Premium Outlet Mall (800) 810 3100
By Attorney Rick Law.  Founder and Managing Partner of the Estate Planning Center at Law Elder Law in Aurora, Illinois. Just off the Farnsworth exit of the I-88 tollway. A lawyer was appointed guardian ad litem in a case in which the son of the person with alleged disabilities was seeking to remove life support. The lawyer was told that the patient was in a deep coma and was dying from lung cancer. The court directed the lawyer to go out on a very expedient basis and then return for a hearing. After spending hours with the doctors and medical team, the lawyer then went in and attempted to communicate with the alleged disabled person. The lawyer got down and spoke very loudly into the patient’s ear (the patient was wearing an oxygen mask) and told the patient the reason for his visit. The patient promptly sprung up out of bed, used a variety of profanities relative to his son and indicated that he was sure his son had come to town to get his money because he hadn’t seen him in about 10 years. The fact that the third-party guardian ad litem was able to go and advise this man of the situation, the existence of this case against him to remove life support, and the fact that it worked because he obviously opposed the removal of life support is demonstrative of the due process system that’s in place to protect people’s rights. This man was on the verge of being taken advantage of, and in essence losing his life. In this case an experienced elder law and guardianship attorney was necessary to ensure that, not only were this man’s needs and wishes were adhered to, but that he was properly cared for after he became incapacitated. Too many families needlessly lose everything they have.  Don’t let that be you.  If you need help paying the overwhelming cost of long term care, give our office a call at 800-310-3100.  Your first consultation is absolutely free.  We’ll let you know what steps you need to take, right now, to protect yourself and your family.  Call now, because when you’re out of money, you’re out of options!

By Rick Law, estate planning elder law attorney and senior advocate of the estate planning center at Law Elder Law in West Suburban Aurora, Illinois. A charitable group contacted a professional care manager about an elderly immigrant with Alzheimer’s disease who needed help because the woman’s agents under her powers of attorney were not acting on her behalf. The woman did not have adequate food and was literally starving. She was giving all of her money away to her neighbors. She had a caregiver, but the caregiver was an alcoholic who kept taking the woman to the emergency room to get Tylenol with codeine and taking it all herself. The woman had congestive heart failure that was not being treated. She had pain that was not being treated. She had oxygen tanks, but they were all empty. The powers of attorney would not help her. They were located two states away and would not provide any service for her because they thought she was fine. The care managers were able to be named temporary guardians and were able to provide caregivers. Fortunately, the care managers were able to inform the woman’s family. The family finally realized that if they did not step up to the plate and do the job, somebody else would and they would lose control. One of the family members actually moved in with the woman and became her caregiver. The elderly woman was able to stay in her own home with care, and the care managers turned the guardianship over to the family with court supervision. This is an example of excellent work by a lawyer who knows the system, and who knows the preference of the court to have family manage things. But if the family is not doing a good job, then they start getting supervised by the court because the courts are going to protect the person with disabilities. That’s the role of a good guardianship lawyer. You may need someone who is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect the ward. Once the guardianship process is in place, the least restricted environment principle needs to apply, but sometimes it takes an iron fist to ensure the family does a good job. In some cases, a temporary guardianship may be available to authorize limited substitute decision making, where necessary for the immediate protection of the “alleged disabled individual”. If you’re ready to start getting your estate in order and secure your assets for the “worst-case” scenario, please give our office a call at 800-310-3100. Your first consultation is absolutely free.  We’ll let you know what steps you need to take, right now, to protect yourself and your family.  Call now. Sincerely, Rick L.

For all of its faults, it gives most hardworking people a chance to improve themselves economically, even as the deck is stacked in favor of the privileged few. Here are the choices most of us face in such a system: Get bitter or get busy.
