Planning Now Can Help You Afford Care Later

Long-term care is expensive. Without a plan, you could burn through your savings or risk being denied coverage when you need it most. We help Memphis families:

  • Qualify for Medicaid without losing their home or savings
  • Understand benefit options for veterans or surviving spouses
  • Avoid financial strain while still getting quality care
  • Reduce stress and conflict among family members

Many people wait too long to get help. Starting early-even if you're healthy-can make a big difference down the road.

Elder Law Questions We Hear Often

  • What's the difference between Medicare & Medicaid?

    Medicare is a federal program for health insurance. Medicaid (TennCare in TN) helps with long-term care costs-but has strict income & asset limits. We help you navigate both.

  • How can I qualify for Medicaid without losing everything?

    We create legal strategies to restructure assets and preserve what's important-while still qualifying for care.

  • What is VA Aid & Attendance?

    It's a monthly benefit available to some veterans or surviving spouses who need help with daily activities. We help determine eligibility and file the paperwork.

  • Do I need a lawyer for Medicaid or VA benefits?

    You don't have to, but these applications are complex-and mistakes can delay or deny benefits. We make the process smoother and reduce risk.

  • Can you help in a crisis situation?

    Yes. Even if someone's already in a hospital or nursing home, we can help with emergency planning and benefit access.
