Addressing the Legal Needs of Virginia's Elderly Population
As you get older, you may have questions about what will happen to your assets and your family in the event of your death, incapacity or need for long-term nursing care. An experienced elder law attorney can help you understand your options and pursue your goals.
At The Peninsula Center for Estate Planning and Elder Law, we provide comprehensive elder law services to clients on the Virginia Peninsula and throughout Hampton Roads. Williamsburg elder law lawyer Helena S. Mock has been assisting clients with these issues for more than a decade.
Protecting Your Assets in the Event That You Need Nursing Care
Elder law is an approach that combines elements of traditional estate planning — including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and living wills — with an added focus on long-term elder care planning, including planning around eligibility for Medicaid and Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits.
By acting early, we can help you maximize the availability of government benefits for nursing care and preserve your assets so they can be passed on to future generations.
If a loved one needs to go into a nursing home in the near future, we can help you understand your options for protecting his or her assets. However, some opportunities are available only to those who plan ahead, so it is never too early to consult with an elder care planning lawyer.
Ms. Mock, the founder and owner of our firm, is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and has the experience to provide comprehensive assistance in this area.
