Atlanta Elder Law

What is Elder Law?

Elder la usually means all laws covering Medicare and Medicaid for senior citizens.

Who I can Help

My niche is helping people plan for the possibility of having to live in a nursing home. In that niche, I further concentrate on those people who don't have enough assets to fully pay for nursing home care but have too many assets to qualify for Medicaid payment of their nursing home bills.

Why Help is Needed

With limits set by the government, it takes very little to exceed its income and assets standards. You technically need to be a pauper to qualify. If someone has too many assets, they have to allocate those assets to the nursing home and/or government until they have eroded them to a bare minimum, depriving their families of any inheritance.

How I can Help

There are some legal avenues that can be utilized to transfer assets to a point where the senior citizen either immediately qualifies for Medicaid assistance or qualifies sooner than they would have otherwise. The people who have more financial resources can afford to pay for nursing home care on their own or can afford to pay for insurance to cover those costs. The people who are not in that financial category are the ones that I can possibly help.
