Brown & Brown, P.C. operates from 1250 East Sherwood Drive, Grand Junction, Colorado 81501, specializing in elder law services. They help aging clients who become less independent and need assistance from care providers to remain in their homes or transition to assisted or skilled facilities. Their elder law practice covers a wide range of issues including Medi-Cal planning, asset protection, VA benefits, incapacity planning, long-term care planning, and traditional estate planning. The firm assists with planning for this challenging life phase, ensuring rights aren’t infringed upon by relatives or care facilities, and creating necessary documents like wills, trusts, and advance directives. These advance directives specify medical and financial actions to be taken when clients cannot make decisions themselves, including Medical Power of Attorney, Living Will, and Financial Power of Attorney. Without these documents, families may need court involvement to authorize decision-making, which is more expensive and complicated. Their comprehensive approach includes disability planning, long-term care insurance, estate planning, and asset protection, addressing all long-term care planning needs. For assistance with elder law matters, contact Brown & Brown at (970) 243-8250 during their office hours, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Located at 7900 International Blvd, Suite 300 in Bloomington, MN 56425, the Law Office of Neil Thompson specializes in elder law, focusing on legal advocacy for aging adults and their loved ones. Their practice encompasses guardianship, retirement planning, health care including advance directives, long-term care planning, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and other issues affecting older or disabled persons. The firm emphasizes the importance of legal preparation through an elder attorney, as many seniors falsely assume family members can automatically make decisions regarding finances or health if something goes wrong. Postponing legal document preparation often becomes problematic and expensive for estates and wellness. While many initially find making legal preparations uncomfortable due to confronting mortality, clients often experience relief once they’ve removed the fear of aging unknowns. Legal preparation can prevent health or financial ruin if someone becomes incapable of making informed decisions, avoiding the expensive and time-consuming process of petitioning courts for guardianship. The firm recommends seeking a well-regarded attorney specializing in elder law, as regulations are ever-changing and complex. Contact their office at 612-246-4788 for assistance with planning.

The Greene Law Firm, P.A., led by Attorney David B. Greene, practices from 11 McGee Street, Greenville, SC 29601, with phone number 864-271-7940. The firm specializes in estate planning and elder law issues in South Carolina, focusing on protecting clients’ legacies against various risks. They advise clients about how creditors, including Medicaid, might claim assets in South Carolina, where creditors have eight months after publication of death notice to file claims. Greene emphasizes that assets in trusts avoid this vulnerability by bypassing the probate process entirely. The firm provides guidance on probate requirements, explaining that without a trust, most estates require formal probate. While homes cannot be sold during probate without a will granting such power, the attorneys can help personal representatives petition probate courts for permission when necessary. For unmarried partners, the firm creates estate plans that designate partners as significant others in long-term committed relationships, ensuring these plans withstand legal challenges. Greene advises that such details and other protections during probate are best established early with an experienced South Carolina estate planning attorney’s guidance, rather than waiting until it’s too late to implement protective measures.
