Elder Law is for Every Dunedin Senior
Many seniors put off talking to a Dunedin elder law attorney until there is some crisis that requires immediate attention. While some of these situations are unavoidable, in many cases careful advance planning can help put your mind at ease while ensuring your legal affairs are in order. Some of the critical services attorney William Rambaum can offer you include:
- Estate Planning: An estate plan is a set of documents that spell out your wishes after you die or should you become incapacitated and no longer able to manage your own affairs. Our estate planning services include the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advance directives for healthcare.
- Probate: After a family member has died, any assets owned in their sole name must pass through Florida’s probate administration process. Our office represents personal representatives and other interested persons in such probate estates.
- Asset Protection: Trusts and other legal tools can help protect your assets from certain creditors. Our team can explain how these tools work and which of them may be appropriate for your situation.
- Guardianship: There are some situations where an adult is considered legally incapacitated, in which case a Florida court must appoint a guardian to manage some or all of their affairs. Our attorney advises potential guardians and wards to ensure their legal interests are properly represented.
- Medicaid: Qualifying for Medicaid is a major stress point for many Dunedin seniors. Our office can explain the rules to you, what you need to do to ensure your Medicaid eligibility, and offer you critical estate planning tools that allow you to protect your assets.
- Nursing Home Planning: Florida has some of the most expensive nursing home care in the United States. It is therefore imperative that you start planning for how to pay for such care as soon as possible. Our team can help you make and carry out that plan.
