Elder Law Attorneys Hopkinsville, Kentucky

What About Disability?

The purpose of an Elder Law attorney is to be a reliable advocate for the elderly and their families. At a time when families are hit by the sudden realization that their loved one will need long-term care following a critical medical event, or due to a worsening disability, an Elder Law attorney can help them understand their options and make decisions to both preserve the incapacitated person’s assets and get him or her the necessary care without depleting their finances. It might be hard to know where to begin or what to look out for.

An Elder Law attorney can handle a multitude of matters in connection to aging, including health care, life planning, estate, and financial matters. Besides legal advice, the attorney can help seniors and their families to devise a plan for their future care needs to avoid the stress of a sudden health crisis. These plans can include essential items such as how the senior plans to pay for their care needs, and what government benefits may be available.

How Can an Attorney Help?

Laws are continually changing and can be hard to keep up with. An Elder Law attorney can assist you and your family and help clarify the laws so you can understand how they may affect you now and in the future.

Here are a few examples of what an Elder Care Attorney can do:

Assist in the creation or updating of wills and estate plans;
Guide executors and their families through probate proceedings;
Help write key planning documents such as a durable power of attorney or a healthcare directive;
Provide financial planning and representation services;
Work with family members who are filing for a guardianship or conservatorship;

Is Elder Law Just Estate Planning?

The critical difference is that Elder Law helps you make plans to preserve your assets and income while you are alive, so you have enough to pay for your care and living expenses without depleting your estate. Estate Planning helps you determine how your assets and property will be handled once you pass away. This is often an uncomfortable topic for many to discuss, but having a solid plan and all proper documents in place will allow you and your family to enjoy many years of worry-free living.

Today my wife and I completed (at Crow Estate Planning and Probate) our Will, Living Will, Power of Attorney for Finance and Medical. As a Tennessee CPA for over 20 years (now retired), I’d like to leave this review so that others may benefit. Our experience rating with with Crow Estate Planning and Probate is EXCELLENT. Our legal team was Kyle Shannon, Callie and Julia. This team was competent, courteous, and professional. They made a potentially complex experience “easy” despite multiple minor trusts involved. The charge for professional services rendered was very reasonable. My wife (Denise) and I would like to thank Kyle and his team (Callie and Julia) for a great experience that exceeded our expectations. I will return for legal needs and I will refer family and others to Kyle, Callie and Julia.
