An Experienced Winston-Salem Elder Law Attorney
Elder law is the only area of law defined by the population it serves, rather than a particular practice area. Issues facing the aging and elderly include planning for long-term health care planning and delegating decision-making authority in the event of a disability or incapacity.
Salem Law was founded in 2010 by our attorney, Daniel Umlauf, to provide the Winston-Salem community with elder law and estate planning legal services. For guidance and assistance with Medicaid planning or eligibility for veterans benefits, our firm’s legal team has the knowledge and experience to provide you with comprehensive legal services.
Providing Comprehensive Legal Services To Support The Elderly
As we age, it’s good to plan ahead. Elder law and estate planning go hand in hand. Our attorney at Salem Law is well-versed in both. We provide legal services for the following:
- Drafting wills and establishing trusts
- Preparing advance health care directives and powers of attorney
- Establishing guardianships
- Medicaid planning for nursing home care
- Securing veterans benefits, like Aid and Attendance or Homebound benefits for eligible veterans and spouses
If you or someone you love is aging, Salem Law can help make sure that plans are in place for the future. As much as possible, we want your assets and wealth to go to your family and beneficiaries, not to pay extreme nursing home and long-term health care costs.
Planning For Long-Term Nursing Home Care And Eligibility For Medicaid
Medicaid provides health care assistance to low-income individuals and those with special needs. Unlike Medicare, Medicaid will cover nursing home expenses. With the cost of nursing home care today, eligibility for Medicaid benefits can be critical for those needing permanent and long-term health care. An experienced elder law attorney can be an invaluable resource to plan ahead for Medicaid benefits.
We also regularly help legacy farmers and ranchers in North Carolina plan for nursing home care. Assets, like valuable farmland, can interfere with your eligibility for Medicaid. We help families with business planning to transition family businesses and farms so their legacy can continue.
