Elder Law is defined by the population that we serve: aging adults or persons with disabilities who could potentially be facing health care issues in the future. May include planning for Medicaid eligibility, guardianship, asset protection, and long-term care planning. Often, we work with adult children and parents together, although the elder is generally our client.
We help clients ensure that their assets are distributed in the manner they wish, to the people or entities they choose, with minimal taxes owed, and often completely avoiding probate. This may involve trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and special account designations.

Elder Law
Report
Planning is critical. Waiting too late to plan for the need of long-term care, especially for dementia, can throw a family into confusion about what Mom or Dad would want, what options are available, what resources can help pay for care and who is best-suited to help provide hands-on care, if needed.
Special Needs
Report
Pauken Legal Services helps responsible parties manage both care and assets for a person with disabilities to ensure any benefits they receive are never in jeopardy and that they receive appropriate services. This involves wills and trusts, but also charitable giving and planning for families who may have a sibling or child with special needs.

Come and join us in person to learn about the essential documents needed when your child decides to leave home. Once your child turns 18 and is officially recognized as an adult, you as a parent, have no legal access to their financial or medical information, regardless if you might be paying for their education and their health insurance.
