At Albanese Law, LLC, we offer a comprehensive range of elder law and estate planning services for individuals and families throughout eastern Massachusetts. We strive to help families with elderly loved ones protect their personal assets and qualify for public Medicaid (MassHealth) and VA benefits.

Helping You Understand Your Elder Law And Estate Planning Options
The Elder Law Services We Provide
Attorney Matthew Albanese has experience and knowledge of the methods of preservation for the elderly, including:
- Guardianships: Guardianships and conservatorships are intended to control the assets of incapacitated adults and minor children who do not have the ability to make their own decisions regarding those assets; and/or their health care needs.
- Conservatorships: When an elderly loved one becomes incapacitated, a court-appointed conservator is required to manage and safeguard a protected person’s assets.
- VA benefits: Veterans who are eligible, and their surviving spouses, may receive monthly benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. These benefits may include medications, glasses and hearing aids, and burial expenses.
- Medicaid planning: This planning can help preserve family assets by finding available programs to pay for medical care and other services for both at home care and nursing home expenses. In Massachusetts the average nursing home cost ranges between $12,000 to $14,000 per month.
