Our Elder Law Services
Our seasoned Sussex County estate lawyers can help you with all types of elder law matters, including the following:
- Medicaid Planning: At Laddey Clark & Ryan, LLP, we specialize in crafting strategic Medicaid plans that protect your assets while ensuring eligibility for benefits. Whether it’s understanding spend-down requirements, selecting exempt assets, or preparing for the application process, our team provides meticulous guidance to prevent costly mistakes and maximize your financial security as you age.
- Guardianship for Adults: When an adult can no longer make safe or sound decisions about their health or property, establishing guardianship is a critical step. Our firm assists families in Sussex County with the complex process of appointing a legal guardian. We handle everything from assessing the need for guardianship to representing your interests in court. Our compassionate approach ensures that the dignity and rights of your loved ones are prioritized, providing peace of mind that they are in caring and capable hands.
- Powers of Attorney: A power of attorney is a vital tool in elder law, allowing individuals to designate someone they trust to manage their affairs should they become unable to do so themselves. Our attorneys at Laddey Clark & Ryan, LLP are skilled in drafting robust powers of attorney that clearly outline your wishes and provide explicit guidelines on handling your financial, legal, and health-related matters. This proactive measure is essential in preventing future disputes and ensuring your affairs are managed according to your exact wishes.
- Advance Healthcare Directives: Advance healthcare directives are crucial for anyone wishing to have control over their medical care decisions in the event they can no longer communicate their wishes. Our team provides expert advice on creating comprehensive directives that reflect your values and preferences. This includes living wills, which specify your desires regarding life-prolonging treatments, and healthcare proxies that appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf. These documents are indispensable in safeguarding your healthcare rights and relieving your loved ones from making difficult decisions without guidance.
