Indiana Estate & Elder Law has established structured processes to provide efficient and timely legal counsel to all clients, implementing an Appointment Cancellation/Reschedule Policy to maintain operational efficiency. Located in Fishers, Rockville, and Wabash, Indiana, the firm serves residents throughout Noblesville, Carmel, Westfield, and other Indiana communities. Their policy requires a card on file to schedule appointments, with clients acknowledging potential charges for cancellations. Appointments may be cancelled without penalty with at least 72 hours notice, and clients are allowed one emergency cancellation without penalty. However, habitual requests to cancel or reschedule could result in termination of the attorney-client relationship, such as cancelling three or more appointments in six months or two consecutive appointments. After using the one allowed emergency cancellation, subsequent cancellations with less than 72 hours notice incur a $175 fee regardless of reason. The firm offers comprehensive services in estate planning, asset protection, Medicaid planning, Veterans benefits, long-term care planning, probate administration with probate avoidance, and business planning.
