Types of Taunton Elder Law Cases We Handle

Whether you are planning how to afford your senior care options, such as through Wedgemere Healthcare or Atria Bay Spring Village, or planning how to protect your assets, Albanese Law, LLC can help. Some of the cases we handle include:

• Estate planning. Only 24% of Americans in 2025 have a will. Estate planning documents, such as wills or health care proxies, provide instructions on how your estate is to be managed and distributed after your death. This can make the probate process easier for your loved ones while also distributing your assets intentionally rather than according to intestate succession laws.
• Medicaid Planning. To qualify for Medicaid in Massachusetts, you must have strict limitations on how many assets you carry, which can be harmed if you inherit a spouse’s estate. Medicaid planning helps you protect your eligibility so you can better receive the care you need as you age. Many older adults rely on Medicaid benefits, with 10% of all Medicaid beneficiaries being adults age 65 or older.
• VA benefits. If you or your spouse is a veteran, planning for how to receive VA benefits as you age is essential. An elder lawyer can help you receive VA pension benefits that can help cover geriatric and long-term care programs or other healthcare costs. In the fiscal year 2024, $127 billion in compensation and pension benefits were awarded to veterans.
• Conservatorship. Conservatorship is a method of protecting your assets if you become incapacitated. A conservator is appointed who can manage your estate on your behalf.

Why Legal Guidance Matters When It Comes to Taunton Elder Law Cases

Working with a Taunton elder law attorney can help you verify that your documents are legally enforceable and clearly written. Small errors in formatting, signing, or unclear language can invalidate these documents, which could render them ineffective when they are needed. If you hire an elder law attorney, they can explain the requirements of elder laws to help you avoid these mistakes.
