Experienced Elder Law Attorney in Illinois

  • Estate planning: When planning for your family's future, there is a wide array of legal options to consider. I will help you develop a strategy that best fits your unique needs and draft personalized wills, trusts and powers of attorney (regarding health care and finances) on your behalf. I also provide services involving special needs trusts.
  • Medicaid planning: When determining whether a person is eligible to receive Medicaid benefits, the state of Illinois will go back and review the past 36 months of your financial records (soon to be 60 months). They will scrutinize any transfers made during that time period. I will review the Medicaid rules with you and advise how those rules apply to your situation and show you what options are available with regard to protecting your assets. I can also help you create a pooled trust that will allow you to transfer assets and qualify for or remain eligible for Medicaid benefits. If you are denied benefits, I can assist you with a Medicaid appeal.
  • Probate, trust and estate administration: I assist families with properly carrying out their legal responsibilities after a loved one's passing. The issues I assist clients with include the appointment of an executor or administrator, transfer of assets to beneficiaries, preparation of estate or trust income tax returns, accounting, and general trust and estate administration.
