Elder law attorneys can help you set retirement savings goals and can assist you in making use of the right types of savings accounts in order to achieve those goals. Many people benefit from investing in Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs) so they can take advantage of tax breaks associated with retirement savings. Depending upon your income and whether you or your spouse has access to a retirement plan at work, you could potentially invest up to $5,500 (or $6,500 if you’re over 50) in an IRA account that provides tax advantages. Mark S.

We also help you to implement your plan and create the right legal documents to ensure your asset protection efforts are successful.

Elder Law Attorneys Help Young Families Ensure Children are Provided for

If you have young children, you should talk with elder law attorneys. An experienced attorney can help you to make sure you have a plan in place to provide support for your kids if something happens to you. Your lawyer can also help you name a guardian so you have someone you trust to take over the care of your child if you become unable to raise your child to adulthood. You don’t want the court to decide these important issues for you so it’s essential that you work with an attorney to make a plan.

Elder Law Attorneys Help You Plan for Incapacity and End-of-Life Issues

What would happen to you and your family today if you got sick, could not manage your assets, or could not make decisions on your own behalf? Families often find themselves in difficult situations because people don’t prepare in advance in case of a serious medical issue. Your family could be forced to struggle to try to figure out what kinds of medical care you’d want and there could be a dispute over your care that ends up in court. Your loved ones may also have to go to court to get a guardian or conservator named so that someone can manage your assets and make decisions on your behalf. If you make an incapacity plan, you and your family won’t have to worry about these issues because you’ll have tools like advanced directives and a power of attorney in place in case of incapacity.
