What Are Elder Law Services?

With aging often comes the need for specialty care, medical support, end-of-life planning, and other arrangements. Elder care lawyers are uniquely suited to navigate these sometimes confusing spaces and advocate for their clients to receive the support they deserve. The attorneys at Crow Estate Planning & Probate have experience in every area of elder law, allowing us to support our clients and their families through:

  • Estate planning, including will creation and probate proceedings
  • Legal declaration of power of attorney and health care directives
  • Medicare and Social Security management
  • Guardianship and conservatorship

We aim to help you plan for these final states of life and how they may affect your finances, future, and quality of life. As plans and directives change, we’ll be there to guide you through every step and ensure our clients’ needs are met.

Estate Planning for Seniors

Elder law and estate planning often go hand in hand, but it’s important to note that they are two separate practice areas. Elder law primarily focuses on services managing an older adult’s life, while estate planning looks at how the person’s assets and directives are handled when they pass away. 

Estate planning is often an essential aspect of elder law, as it gives our clients the chance to have a say in their legacy while they’re still contributing to it. As we go through your plans for your future, we’ll make sure you establish a will, living will, trust, and power of attorney, giving you full control over your life and assets.

When to Meet With an Elder Law Attorney

Everyone who reaches retirement age should meet with an elder care lawyer at least once. It’s especially important to connect with a professional if you or your loved one:

  • Do not have a will or power of attorney
  • Suspect elder fraud or abuse
  • Suffer from an infirmity like dementia or Alzheimer’s
  • Are moving into assisted living or getting in-home care services
  • Need a plan for protecting your assets

When you meet for elder law estate planning like ours, you can rest assured you’re getting quality, client-focused care that puts your best interests first. Our years of experience in estate planning in Tennessee and Kentucky have given us firsthand knowledge in navigating and explaining complex legal issues with ease.

Crow Estate Planning & Probate is honored to serve Tennessee and Kentucky. You have a legacy — let us protect it. Connect with us online to schedule your first appointment today.

    I cannot recommend Thomas Steelman highly enough! From the very start, he made the entire process of setting up our estate trust absolutely painless. His expertise and clear explanations turned what I expected to be a daunting task into a smooth and stress-free experience.

    Not only did he handle every aspect of our estate trust with great attention to detail, but he (and law firm colleagues) also took care of transferring over our home deeds so we didn’t have to deal with the hassle of going to the county office ourselves. That alone saved us so much time and stress!

    I honestly thought the process was going to cost a small fortune, but I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was. Most importantly, though, Thomas gave us peace of mind knowing that our hard-earned assets are protected and will go exactly where we want them—without placing unnecessary burdens on our loved ones.

    If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional estate trust attorney, Thomas and team are the ones to trust. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
