Guardianship and Power of Attorney: Planning Ahead
One of the most common concerns families face is understanding the difference between guardianship and powers of attorney. We encourage proactive planning to avoid the need for guardianship, which can often be accomplished with thoughtfully prepared powers of attorney and estate planning documents. Early preparation empowers families to make critical decisions without the added stress of court intervention.
Elder Care Planning: A Holistic Approach
Elder care planning integrates health care, legal, and financial strategies to address the challenges of long-term care. Our approach ensures that you and your family have a clear plan for managing your loved one’s needs, from medical care to asset preservation, giving you peace of mind during uncertain times.
Nevada Income Reduction Trusts and Special Needs Trusts
Long-term care planning often requires exploring trust options that suit individual circumstances. In Nevada, income reduction trusts and special needs trusts can play a critical role in preserving resources and ensuring access to necessary care. These trusts are designed to help individuals meet qualification criteria for assistance programs while safeguarding assets for future care or family needs. Choosing the right trust requires careful evaluation, and our experienced team is here to guide you through this complex process.

FAQs About Elder Law
Elder law can be complicated, and it’s normal to have questions about the legal, financial, and healthcare aspects involved. Our team has compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand your options. Whether you’re curious about estate planning, Medicaid eligibility, or guardianship, we’re here to provide clear, straightforward information.
To help your family maintain control of your property and avoid court intervention as much as possible, it is important to have a strong and updated estate plan in place. This includes a will, a financial power of attorney, and a healthcare power of attorney. Incomplete or unsigned documents will not help your loved ones. You must finalize everything to ensure your documents are legally enforceable. Once you have created a strong estate plan, inform your family of where you have stored the important documents and who to contact in the event that you pass away or become incapacitated.
Unfortunately, not. Although you can use a trust to provide asset protection for your heirs and beneficiaries after you pass away, you cannot use a revocable trust to protect your assets from a nursing home during your lifetime. To do this, you need thorough long-term care planning.
A living will, also known as an advanced medical directive, informs your loved ones and medical providers about any end-of-life decisions you have made if you cannot communicate them at a particular time. For example, if you ever suffer from an irreversible coma or are in a persistent vegetative state, a living will can outline whether you want your medical team to use life support, or if you do not.
Individuals are considered to be incapacitated if they cannot manage their day-to-day affairs such as managing assets, paying bills, and making financial decisions. Additionally, individuals may also be considered to be incapacitated if they are unable to provide informed consent for medical treatment.
