Aging, disability and special needs planning can present a host of challenges, concerns and unexpected issues. We believe that when clients and their families remain informed and empowered, their wishes can be honored during their lifetime. Accordingly, we value and follow a holistic, strategy-driven approach to estate and long-term care planning through comprehensive guidance and continued support. Our attorneys are uniquely qualified and specially equipped to handle aging, disability and special needs issues. With a depth of knowledge and experience, we prepare legal documents, assist with navigating government programs and handle Medicaid applications, advise on the nursing home admissions process, home care needs and other issues. We also tap into a network of professionals to assist with the non-legal aspects of care and planning, including geriatric care managers, placement professionals and financial advisors. Our Wills, Trusts and Estates attorneys practice across New York state in our Albany, Buffalo, Ithaca, Long Island, New York City, Rochester and Syracuse offices.
