ELDER LAW

Lavelle Law offers experienced Elder Law counsel to help you navigate the complex legal and financial issues that are unique to aging. Elder law is as much about proactive planning as it is crisis response, and our attorneys come with decades of cumulative experience advising clients on all aspects of the latter half of life. Whether you are looking to safeguard assets for future generations or advocate for the rights of an elderly loved one, our attorneys are here to provide compassionate guidance and solutions tailored to your and your loved ones’ unique needs. 

Our expertise includes:

• Estate and Long-Term Planning: A basic estate plan will protect assets, but comprehensive long-term planning involves designations of guardianship, powers of attorney, advance directives, HIPPA waivers and more, so that aging never leads to stressful legal emergencies. 
• Estate Administration: Encompassing all issues arising out of the probate or administration of a deceased loved one’s estate or trust, from legal compliance to contested estate litigation.
• Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation: You and your loved ones are entitled to your rights and dignity at any age. Our firm knows how to advocate for victims of financial exploitation.
• Guardianship: Nothing is more difficult than the decision to intervene legally on behalf of a loved one whose physical and mental capacity has declined. Our attorneys can sensitively guide you through the process of obtaining court-ordered guardianship over anyone who urgently needs your assistance—or, help you oppose a petition for guardianship where it is unnecessary or fraudulent.

As the U.S. population ages, the importance of Elder Law expertise cannot be overstated. Schedule a free consultation today, and let our attorneys customize services that will address the unique needs and concerns of you and your family.
