Why You Need an Elder Law Attorney

Elder law is subject to strict guidelines and complex processes. Without the right representation, you may not be able to achieve the best outcome. There are various elder law nuances an attorney can guide you through, such as:

  • Distributing your assets via estate planning
  • Qualifying for certain benefits
  • Drafting a living will
  • Receiving guardianship

Our elder law attorney can help you navigate the requirements and paperwork to help you receive the care and support you need.

Do You Suspect That a Loved One Is Suffering Financial Abuse?

Many elderly people may face declining health or cognition, which can make them vulnerable to financial abuse.

Unfortunately, in Texas and throughout the country, it's common for parties to take advantage. They may exploit physical or mental impairments to influence or outright coerce the elderly. This can involve obtaining valuable possessions, forcing estate planning changes in a will, and other tragic abuses.

If you believe that an elderly loved one needs help, contact our dedicated attorneys. We can fight for legal protections, such as guardianship and power of attorney.

You Do Not Have to Face This Alone

You do not need to be a lawyer to mount your legal efforts—you just need to hire one.

Mr. Michel can take the stress off your shoulders. They understand legal intricacies surrounding everything from estate planning and more.

They can use their knowledge of the law to your advantage, both in and out of the courtroom. That way, you can protect your family, yourself, and your hard-earned assets.

Understanding Living Wills

What Is a Living Will?

A living will is used to plan your medical care and power of attorney as you age. For those with cognitive decline, health changes, or a desire for proactivity, it can ensure control even in unforeseen circumstances.

How Old Do You Have to Be to Make One?

As long as you are 18, Texas law allows you to draft a living will. This is an important legal step that people of all ages can benefit from, allowing them to plan for the future.

Can a Lawyer Help Me With a Living Will?

Yes, our Texas lawyers can help you. In addition to serving as elder law attorneys, we are also probate law and estate planning attorneys. So, if you or a loved one wants to draft a living will, we can guide you through it.

Is a Living Will the Same as a Will?

No. A living will concerns your power of attorney and medical care. A traditional will is a document that lays out your estate, assets, and directives to be carried out after you have passed. Our attorneys can help with this process too.
