Dodging the Wrecking Ball | by Rick Law, Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorney
As an elder law attorney, my clients are hard-working people who fought in our wars, worked in our factories, and sent their kids to college. They are honest people who always lived frugally. They paid off their homes and cars and now they live on two Social Security checks and sometimes a very modest pension. Most of them were well and happy until things started crumbling around them. Trying to deal with dementia or long term physical disabilities alone is like standing on a roof and watching a wrecking ball swing wildly, just waiting for the hit that will crumble everything below you. The healthy spouse and the caregiving children are left scrambling to figure out how to pay the monthly $5,000 to $9,000 nursing home bill. They are panicked, lost, and alone. That’s usually when an elder law attorney comes into the picture. Families call us because they are worried. They know that unless they find a long-term solution, they will soon be out of money. And when you’re out of money, you’re out of options. We are a trustworthy guide through the minefield of health care, insurance, taxes, finances, Medicare, Medicaid, veteran’s benefits, Alzheimer’s, family dynamics, and end-of-life issues. There really is no time in life when the stakes are higher or you have more to lose. My firm is proud to advocate for the scores of families we see every year! Don’t wait for the wrecking ball to start swinging. Give us a call at 800-310-3100.
