Elder Law is a specialized field of law that addresses the unique legal issues affecting older adults as they age. It encompasses Estate Planning, long term care planning and Asset Protection as well as major life decisions, such as planning for future health care needs.
Estate planning is the bedrock of a family’s financial well-being for generations to come. By preparing a Will and all necessary trusts, you take control of your family members’ financial security, ensure your wishes are carried out, and leave your family free of uncertainty and chaos
Estate administration and the probate process can be complex, requiring not only legal assistance but financial and tax expertise as well. We help our clients and their families by breaking down these important steps to relieve some of the stress so that you are able to focus on yourself and your family.
Cona Elder Law represents a range of health care providers, from family-owned nursing homes, to hospitals, assisted living facilities, conglomerate skilled nursing facilities, continuing care retirement communities and prominent health care systems.
Estate litigation encompasses will contests, trust contests, breach of fiduciary duties, contested accountings, self-dealing, conflicts of interest and more. For example, a Will can be challenged on the grounds of lack of capacity, undue influence, improper execution, or forgery.
Asset protection planning for older adults focuses on protecting assets from the high costs of long-term care, such as nursing home care, home care and assisted living costs. This can be accomplished by moving funds, real estate and other assets into an irrevocable trust.
At Cona Elder Law, we’re proud to be an award winning Long Island elder law firm.
