Elder law planning is a targeted area of law that helps individuals prepare for incapacity, plan for long-term care, and arrange assets to support loved ones through wills, trusts, and durable powers of attorney.

Elder law planning helps protect your rights, care preferences, and assets. It also outlines who will step in to help and how your resources will be managed.
A trust can avoid probate and help manage assets efficiently. It’s not always required, but it can be a valuable tool depending on your goals and family situation.
Medicaid planning involves understanding eligibility, asset protection, and coverage for long-term care. We guide you through the steps and coordinate with relevant professionals.
Bring identification, current estate documents, lists of assets and debts, and care needs information. We’ll review what’s most important for your plan and explain what may be missing.
In some cases, plans can be updated from state to state, but rules differ. We’ll explain how relocation affects your documents and adapt your plan accordingly.
A durable power of attorney or healthcare proxy should be placed with a trusted person who understands your preferences. They should be prepared to manage decisions when needed.
Without a plan, decisions may be left to the courts. A comprehensive plan helps ensure your wishes are known and followed, even if illness occurs.
Elder law planning can benefit anyone planning for aging, incapacity, or long-term care, not just the elderly. Early preparation is wise.
Costs vary by scope and complexity. We focus on clear, transparent pricing and provide a plan that fits your needs and budget.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your plan. Many Taft clients complete core documents within a few weeks with proper information.
