Caring for Your Future, Protecting What Matters Most
As we age, the legal and financial decisions we make become more important than ever. At DeClue Law, we help individuals and families navigate the complexities of elder law and long-term care planning with clarity, compassion, and practical solutions.
Whether you’re preparing for the future or managing a current care need, we’ll guide you every step of the way—so you can protect your loved ones, preserve your assets, and move forward with peace of mind.
What Is Elder Law?
Elder law is a specialized area of law that focuses on the legal needs of older adults and their families. It often includes:
- Planning for long-term care and assisted living
- Protecting assets from nursing home spend-down
- Navigating Medicaid eligibility
- Preparing key legal documents like Wills, Trusts, and Powers of Attorney
- Ensuring that personal and medical wishes are honored
- Coordinating care options and public benefits
- Supporting caregivers through legal planning
At DeClue Law, we offer thoughtful, step-by-step guidance to help you make informed decisions that safeguard both dignity and independence.
What Is Medicaid Planning?
Medicaid is a government program that can cover nursing home and long-term care costs—but qualifying can be complicated. Without proper planning, many families fear they’ll lose their life savings to care costs.
Medicaid planning involves structuring your assets and finances in a way that allows you to qualify for benefits while still protecting what you’ve worked hard to build.
We regularly help clients:
- Explore strategies to preserve their home, income, and savings
- Navigate the Medicaid application process
- Handle emergency, “crisis” planning for loved ones already in care
- Coordinate care needs and eligibility with other benefit programs
- Understand how Medicaid interacts with long-term care insurance and other private options
Even if you think it’s too late, we may still be able to help.
