Elder Law Attorney in Northern, NJ

Deborah L. Pico - Attorney At Law

Our New Jersey Elder Law attorneys are highly experienced in this area of the law. Elder Law includes some of the following areas: asset protection and Medicaid planning, simple and complex Wills, Powers of Attorney, Health Care Directives, Special Needs Trusts, Intervivos Trusts, Revocable v. Irrevocable Trusts, Elder Abuse, Undue Influence, Guardianship and Conservatorship and Age Discrimination.

Every client’s needs must be carefully reviewed, and possibly adjusted as they age. Life situations change, children grow up, problems arise for the loved ones you want to continue care for, and your financial needs sometimes become more challenging as time goes by. It is important to be able to consult with attorneys who understand where you are now in your life, the connection you have to your loved ones, whether you want to include charities or others in your estate plan, and who you can trust. Decisions have to be made as to whether you will continue to manage your own affairs or have help now or in the near future. Transferring or gifting assets may or may not be right for you. Before you do anything, be sure to consult an attorney who has the experience to guide you.

The area of Elder Law is broad, and can include use of lifetime transfers, gifts, life insurance, and your Last Will and Testament. It is our goal for you, as your Elder Law attorney, to do work with you in regard to all of your assets, your intended beneficiaries, and to try to preserve as much of your estate as possible while having you maintain the level of control over and amount of assets you need for a comfortable life. We will review all relevant information with you including your personal situation and assets, and help you manage and reach expectations.
