Divorce
Adoption
Premarital Agreement
A prenuptial agreement is a valuable tool for second marriages later in life. In a prenuptial agreement, the parties to the marriage can spell out their agreement about how property will be managed, how bills will be paid, and whose funds will be used to pay for long-term care costs. It can also be used to define the inheritance rights of each spouse and of children from prior marriages. Children from prior marriages are greatly reassured to know that their parents are thoughtfully considering these issues.
Guardianship

Personal Injury
The court rejected Draper's contention that her parents had established a "dry" trust. The court noted that, on the same day the trust was signed, it was funded with $429,259.41 in personal injury proceeds. The trust itself made this explicit, stating that "this trust is funded with the proceeds of the settlement of a liability claim."

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Establishing a Will or a Trust is an important first step in your planning. However, in order to ensure that your final wishes are honored and your assets are ultimately distributed to your rightful beneficiaries, you have to maintain your plan. Changes in your life may necessitate updating your estate planning documents from time to time. Highlighted below are some common situations that should prompt you to revisit your estate plan.
Wills
Elder Law attorneys help older people and their families with all of the legal consequences of aging. These consequences tend to fall into three categories: surrogate decision making for finances and health care; estate planning; and long-term care cost planning. We use powers of attorney for finances and advance directives for health care, wills and trusts, and a variety of strategies to help people get and pay for good care. When an older person lacks the ability to pay for care over their life expectancy using private savings or longterm care insurance, an elder law attorney will advise him or her on qualifying for long-term care assistance through the Medicaid program.
Trusts
We do a lot of educational presentations, and the most common question from the audience is "what is the difference between a will and a living trust?"

Probate

Bankruptcy
Tax Law
Your assets change. If your assets have substantially increased since you prepared your estate plan, it may be beneficial to incorporate some tax planning provisions into your Will or trust in order to minimize your estate tax liability. On the other hand, you may have incurred high expenses, allowed a large life insurance policy to lapse, or made gifts during your lifetime and your estate may have decreased in value. If you previously had a complicated plan for purposes of minimizing estate taxes but estate taxes are no longer of concern, you could consider simplifying your plan.
