Estate planning involves the development of a plan for managing your assets and affairs during your lifetime, in case of incapacity, and upon your death. Every adult should have an estate plan including a will, a health care directive, and a durable power of attorney.

Elder Law/Medicaid Planning

Elder Law is a rapidly growing area of the law that addresses issues affecting the elderly, including the financing of long-term care and coordination of governmental benefits (Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, VA Benefits).  Specifically, Medicaid planning allows individuals in need of long-term care to protect their assets from being diminished by the high cost of nursing home care. At The Gallagher Law Firm, we provide quality representation for a variety of elder law matters, including Medicaid planning.
