Understanding Elder Law in North Carolina

Elder law encompasses many legal issues that become particularly relevant as people age. Its primary goal is to help seniors and their families plan for the future, protect their rights, and safeguard their well-being.   

Key aspects of elder law in North Carolina include the following.

• Long-term care planning – We help families evaluate care options and plan for future expenses, including strategies to qualify for Medicaid benefits while preserving assets.
• Powers of attorney – A durable power of attorney allows a trusted person to make financial or legal decisions for seniors who become incapacitated. 
• Health care directives – These documents include a health care power of attorney and a living will, which give clients control over medical decisions and end-of-life care.
• Guardianships and conservatorships – When a loved one can no longer manage their affairs, we can establish legal authority through the court system to protect them and their estate. We can also help clients avoid guardianship through powers of attorney. 
• Special needs planning – We can create trusts and other legal instruments to support a disabled spouse or dependent without jeopardizing their eligibility for government benefits.
• Asset protection – Proper planning can shield property from long-term care costs, creditors, or court judgments while maintaining flexibility and access when needed.
• Estate planning – We create or update wills, trusts, and other estate documents to reflect current wishes and effectively provide for loved ones.
• Elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation – Our firm can advocate for the rights of seniors who have been victims of physical, emotional, or financial harm. We can help you pursue legal remedies to protect your loved one and hold perpetrators accountable. 
• Social Security and Medicare issues – While these are federal programs, we can assist clients in understanding their benefits, navigating the application processes, and appealing denied claims.
