At St. Johns Law Group, we provide a comprehensive suite of elder law services designed to meet the diverse needs of seniors in St. Augustine. Our goal is to empower you with solutions that protect your financial well-being, health, and personal values. Below are the key areas where we can assist:
The cost of long-term care, such as nursing homes or assisted living facilities, can quickly deplete a lifetime of savings. Our attorneys specialize in Medicaid planning, helping you qualify for benefits while preserving your assets for your spouse, children, or other heirs. We develop strategies to meet Medicaid’s strict eligibility requirements, including asset and income limits, without sacrificing your financial security. By restructuring your finances and utilizing legal tools like trusts, we ensure you can access quality care without financial hardship.
A well-crafted estate plan is essential to protect your assets and ensure your wishes are carried out after your passing. Our St. Augustine elder law attorneys assist with drafting essential documents, including:
Our estate planning services are tailored to your unique circumstances, helping you avoid the time-consuming and costly probate process while securing your legacy.
Planning for long-term care is a critical aspect of elder law. Whether you prefer to age in place with in-home care, move to an assisted living community, or require nursing home care, our attorneys help you explore your options and create a plan that aligns with your needs and budget. We work with you to identify funding sources, such as Medicaid, Veterans benefits, or long-term care insurance, to ensure you receive the care you deserve without depleting your resources.
When a loved one is no longer able to make sound decisions due to cognitive decline or incapacity, establishing a guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. Our attorneys guide families through this sensitive process, ensuring that the individual’s health, finances, and personal affairs are managed responsibly by a trusted guardian or conservator. We handle all legal aspects of guardianship proceedings in St. Augustine courts, prioritizing the well-being and dignity of your loved one.
Making your healthcare wishes known in advance provides peace of mind for you and your family. Our elder law attorneys assist with creating advance directives, including:
These documents ensure that your healthcare choices are respected, reducing stress for your family during challenging times.
If you or your spouse served in the military, you may qualify for Veterans benefits to help cover healthcare or long-term care costs. Programs like the VA Aid and Attendance benefit can provide financial assistance for in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. Our St. Augustine elder law attorneys are experienced in navigating the VA system, helping you maximize your benefits and streamline the application process.
For families with loved ones who have disabilities, we offer special needs planning to ensure long-term financial security without jeopardizing government benefits like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). By creating special needs trusts, we help you provide for your loved one’s care and quality of life while maintaining their eligibility for essential programs.
