When mom or dad has a debilitating condition such as dementia or Alzheimer, it could be practical to hire an elder law attorney to get their affairs in order. A-1 Home Care has a few suggestions for loved ones needing such services.
We highly recommend that you look around. Ask friends, relatives, work colleagues, another attorney, or your parent’s primary care doctor for a referral. You also can contact the senior legal services provided
by your local Area Agency on Aging and ask them to recommend someone.
Community legal aid agencies may be able to offer you assistance as
well.
Contact the local bar association in your community and request a
referral to a professional who has experience in elder law. The attorney
should be able to answer your questions in regard to planning for your
parent’s long-term care. Inquire whether he or she has knowledge in the
areas of estate planning, Social Security, Medicaid laws and
regulations, and Durable Power of Attorney
