Non-confidential directory inquiry
Tell us the care issue and timing. This inquiry helps organize the next step without sharing sensitive financial or medical details.

Elder law attorneys help older adults and families with Medicaid planning, long-term care and nursing home costs, guardianship, powers of attorney, and protecting assets and the home. Many also handle estate planning and special needs planning. Scope varies by attorney, so confirm the specific focus before hiring.
Fees vary by matter and attorney. Some charge a flat fee for documents like a power of attorney, while Medicaid planning is often billed hourly or as a project fee. Many offer an initial consultation. Ask how fees are structured up front and what the total is likely to be.
Families often reach out around a hospital discharge, a new diagnosis, a move to assisted living or a nursing home, or when Medicaid or guardianship questions arise. Acting earlier usually leaves more planning options open, because some strategies depend on timing.
They overlap but are not identical. Estate planning focuses on transferring assets at death (wills, trusts, beneficiaries). Elder law focuses on aging and long-term care while you are alive — Medicaid eligibility, care costs, guardianship, and decision-making authority. Many attorneys handle both.
General educational information, not legal advice. ElderLawLocator is an attorney directory, not a law firm, and does not recommend or endorse any attorney. Confirm any attorney's current license, disciplinary history, certifications, and fees directly with them and your state bar before hiring.
If a nursing home decision is part of the situation:
Compare facility quality, inspection records, and staffing levels alongside legal planning. Skip this step if your question is only about documents, benefits, or guardianship.
