Surviving the “Economic Earthquake”: Why you need a Trusted Legal Advisor & Estate Planner

We all know that we need to plan for our future.  Hindsight is always 20/20, and matters of money are no different.  So, what CAN an experienced Elder Care advisor and estate planner do for you? In my experience, an experienced Elder Law attorney provides 4 valuable benefits: 1.) Safety – Because it’s too hard to get back what you lost. I have seen it all too often.  Clients come into my office having spent a good portion of their savings, and exhausted their mental and physical wellness in the pursuit of caring for a loved one who has succumbed to an unexpected illness.  It’s our nature as caregivers to offer our compassion and sacrifice our time and our own well being for a loved one that is sick or unable to care for themselves. A huge part of what we do as Elder Law attorneys is provide you with peace of mind.  The satisfaction in knowing that whether or not a crisis occurs, we can help set you on the path of meeting your personal, financial, and familial plans, hopes, dreams and goals. 2.) A reasonable rate of return on your money – Most people do not expect to be stock market wizards. They want a safe and consistent way to be able to support their lifestyle as they age. Even if you’re not an investor or financially savvy, it stands to reason that 10 dollars spent now is better than spending 20, 50, or 100 dollars down the road for the same product or service – minus the money lost for failing to plan ahead. As estate planners, we want the best for you and your future.  For myself and many of my colleagues, the reason we practice elder law and estate planning is not out of greed or arrogance.  We understand it can be a personal and emotional experience, and we believe we are providing a valuable community service.  One which can be a transformational in many circumstances.
