Elder Law
None of us know what events may occur and change our lives forever. Six in ten adults will have a long term care need during their lifetime. However, by planning in advance, you ensure that your directives will be followed, therefore reducing the decision-making burden that would otherwise be placed on your family.
Elder Law can seem daunting, riddled with government regulations and complex problems. Families that try to work through those complexities without experienced guidance can find the discussion of the issues emotionally difficult and possibly dividing. Michael Levy listens to your concerns and helps you make the best decisions for yourself and your family, providing a calm and comforting resolution. He will lead you through whatever issues you may have including Medicaid planning, healthcare proxies, living wills, as well as nursing home and long term care planning.
Guardianships
Elderly and disabled persons often require a guardian to protect them. Becoming a guardian often requires a legal proceeding to determine who is best qualified to protect these individuals. Michael Levy understands the stress involved in guardianship proceedings and will guide your family through this process and explain the duties and responsibilities involved in becoming someone’s legal guardian.
