Elder Law

Aging is a guaranteed part of life. As time and life progress, so does a person’s age. While considering one's own increasing age, a person will often imagine golden years spent with less worry and stress. In reality, however, many senior citizens face additional issues and problems as they get older. Health issues often arise and a senior citizen may require increased or constant medical attention. However, due to retirement, a senior citizen may not have the income to pay for medical costs. As a result, younger family members are increasingly paying for their elderly loved one’s costly expenses. Often, without proper elder law planning, senior citizens and their family members lose hard earned assets to pay for the older family member’s care. But with proper planning or action, a North Carolina Elder Law Lawyer may significantly limit these costs and preserve assets. Regardless of if you or a family member requires Medicaid Benefits, Long Term Care, Assisted Living, a Nursing Home, or Veteran Affairs Benefits, you may be required to jump through legal hurdles. Both State programs and Federal programs contain miles of red tape. Often, applying for these benefits is a difficult, complex, and frustrating task. Sometimes, providing the wrong information will prohibit the collection of benefits. If benefits are initially denied, it may be increasingly difficult to obtain benefits upon later applications. Before attempting to collect these benefits through a confusing and difficult application process, you should consider speaking with a Eldreth Law Firm, PLLC Elder Law Lawyer. One of our North Carolina Elder Law Lawyers can make sense of these applications. Additionally, a lawyer may assist you in re-applying or appealing a rejected application.
