Experienced New York Elder Law Attorney
As the American population grows older, more of our clients are considering the importance of long-term financial and health care planning. Given the dramatic rise in health care costs and the reduction in government assistance, it becomes increasingly important to plan for your future.

We help senior citizens create comprehensive Medicaid plans, estate plans, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, and living wills. Located in Pearl River, New York, our firm represents clients throughout New York. Contact us today to set up an appointment with an experienced elder law attorney.
Everyone worries about the rising cost of long-term care for our aging population. With costs of approximately $10,000 a month or more depending on the level of care, it is easy to see how quickly medical and nursing home costs can wipe out a person's life savings. While some people may qualify for long-term health care insurance, many cannot afford to pay the premiums.
For people who cannot afford long-term health care insurance, we will create comprehensive estate plans that maximize their quality of life and protect the assets available to their family after their death. We will make sure they or their parents will qualify for Medicaid, if the need should arise.
It is important to deal with elder law issues and Medicaid plans proactively. Even if you already need nursing home care, it is not too late to consult with an experienced lawyer about these issues:
- Medicaid planning - protecting your assets and your ability to obtain Medicaid and other government assistance
- Estate planning - protecting the property available to your heirs
- Care provider agreement - ensuring you have the care you need toward the end of your life
- Other issues - conservatorship, guardianship, and power of attorney
