Elder Law

Getting older doesn’t have to mean having less control of your life. It may not be clear what your future will look like as you age, especially if you have a disability or long-term healthcare needs. But an elder law attorney can help you navigate the process, advise you on your options, and help you feel more in control of your future as you age.

How Working With a Dedicated Michigan Elder Law Attorney Can Help You

There is a lot to consider when planning your elder years, and it can be overwhelming to think about. Our elder law attorneys know the terrain and have the experience to guide you through the process. We’ll take a holistic approach to your interests so that every concern is addressed. Our premier elder law services encompass the following areas and topics to ensure that you receive the most comprehensive and effective legal protections available.

Aging in Place

More and more people in the Ann Arbor area want to continue living at home rather than moving into a retirement home, even if they need more hands-on care as they age. We’ll discuss your needs and determine the likelihood of your eligibility for Medicaid programs designed for aging in place (i.e., MI Choice Waiver, PACE, etc.).

Long Term Care Medicaid

We can consider and discuss with you the eligibility requirements for long term care Medicaid and what it will pay for as well as discuss planning options when considering applying for long-term care Medicaid.

Estate Planning

Estate planning allows you to choose what happens to your assets after you die. Our dedicated team of estate planning professionals is ready to help you articulate your goals and put the necessary tools and documents in place to secure your legacy.

Powers of Attorney and Patient Advocate Designations

Though none of us want to think about it, the time may come when you are unable to make your own decisions. Planning ahead for this possibility allows you to control who will make decisions for you in the event that you’re unable to make decisions yourself.

A Power of Attorney grants a person the power to make legal and financial decisions on your behalf. A Patient Advocate Designation (also known as a Health Care Power of Attorney or Living Will) grants the power to make medical decisions for you, including end-of-life decisions.

In either case, preparing these documents now ensures that the person you trust most is the one who can make these critical decisions on your behalf. Without these documents, your loved ones will have to go through a public, stressful, and potentially expensive court process to appoint a guardian or conservator. Unfortunately, the process can delay important decisions that need to be made for you.

It’s never too early to designate a Power of Attorney and a Patient Advocate. We’ll guide you through the process of preparing these documents, considering who to designate, and deciding how you want these decisions made for you.

Everyone deserves to enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your future—and that of your loved ones—is safe and secure. Call Warren & Schairbaum, LLC, today at (734) 769-9300 to discuss your concerns with a highly qualified and compassionate Michigan elder law attorney.

As you age, you can feel hopeful about your options and have confidence that your future goals are addressed. Our goal is to empower you to make more informed decisions about your future and your legacy.
