Elder Law
Empowering Seniors with Dignity, Protection & Peace of Mind
Aging brings both opportunities and challenges. At Loviscky & Cressman, we help seniors and their families navigate the legal and financial complexities that come with later life. Whether you’re planning for long-term care, protecting assets, or advocating for a loved one, our Elder Law services offer experienced guidance every step of the way.
What Is Elder Law?
Elder law focuses on the unique legal needs of older adults and those who care for them. Our practice combines estate planning, long-term care planning, and public benefits advocacy—delivered with compassion and clarity.
We provide a steady hand during times of transition and uncertainty, helping families make informed, confident decisions.
Why Elder Law Matters
Planning ahead can:
- Prevent financial crisis in the event of unexpected illness or incapacity
- Preserve hard-earned assets for your spouse and heirs
- Reduce stress on family members by making decisions in advance
- Ensure your voice is heard and your wishes are followed
Our Elder Law Services Include:
- Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
We help you appoint trusted decision-makers and create clear instructions to ensure your financial and healthcare wishes are followed if you become incapacitated. - Transition Planning
We assist with legal and financial preparations during key life transitions, such as moving to assisted living, planning for in-home care, or managing changes in family support. - Complex Public Benefits Planning
Our attorneys guide clients through Medicaid, Veterans benefits, and other public programs, developing legal strategies to qualify for support while protecting family assets. - Incapacity Planning Options
