Keystone Elder Law P.C.

Premarital Agreement
Yes, all of these types of assets are included when calculating eligibility. One exception is an IRA which is owned by a spouse living in the community. Prenuptial agreements do not help to protect additional resources.
Guardianship
Equally important is a Durable Financial Power of Attorney. This document is necessary if you should require assistance with financial matters, such as paying bills or accessing/managing an independently owned bank account. Without this document, financial institutions will release information only to the owner of the account. This creates difficulties if the owner is incapacitated, either temporarily or permanently. Using this document, you can name one or more individuals to act as your “Agent” for the purpose of legal and financial matters. A Durable Financial Power of Attorney becomes effective either immediately, upon incapacity (if it is “springing”), or for a specific limited purpose, and can only be used while you are alive. Keystone can help you create a Durable Financial Power of Attorney that will have specific language necessary for protecting assets during a nursing home crisis. The only other way to access financial information and manage accounts would be through a GUARDIANSHIP, which is a legal process involving the court that is lengthy, stressful, and expensive.

Auto Accidents
Medicaid Planning

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
With professional education and our own personal experiences, we at Keystone Elder Law P.C. have the knowledge and compassion to combat the stresses families face regarding an array of emotional, legal, and financial decisions. These can concern caregiving, Medicaid & finding/paying for quality health care, specialized and long-term care for dementia, estate administration after a loved one passes, preparing for the future with Estate Planning, and much more. Our team strives to provide a comprehensive set of services that are individualized to meet your needs and goals.
Wills
The most common document that people think about is a Last Will and Testament. This document dictates what will happen to your property after you pass away. It allows you to choose “who gets what” (your beneficiaries), who will be in charge of overseeing the process (your executor), and who you wish to be guardian of any minor children or dependents. If you pass away without a will, the state will make these decisions for you, and the state’s decisions may be different from what you would expect. For example, if you pass away and have surviving children, all of whom are children of your surviving spouse also, your surviving spouse will receive only the first $30,000 plus one-half of the balance of the intestate estate. If you prefer to make your own decisions, clearly a Last Will and Testament is an important document.
Trusts
A Power of Attorney empowers an agent to do certain specified things for the principal during the principal’s lifetime. A Living Trust also allows a person, called a “trustee,” to do certain things for the maker of the trust during that person’s lifetime but these powers also extend beyond death. A Living Trust is like a Power of Attorney in that it allows a person to manage another’s assets. Like an agent, the Trustee can do banking transactions, investments, and many other tasks related to the management of the person’s assets.
Power of Attorney
A Durable Health Care Power of Attorney allows you to appoint one or more individuals as your “Agents” to make health care decisions for you if you are unable to make them for yourself. These decisions can include authorization or refusal of medical treatment, admissions to medical facilities, and hiring/firing of medical professionals. Another essential element of this document is that it allows your agent to access your private medical information so informed medical decisions can be made. This information is more difficult to access since the enactment of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), which tightened medical privacy regulations. Your agent(s) should understand your preferences for care so that they can best represent you if the need should arise.
Probate

Tax Law
Executing your Last Will and Testament, Durable Financial Power of Attorney, Health Care Power of Attorney, and Living Will is an important step to take for adults of ALL ages and wallet size. Keystone likes to refer to the estate planning documents as foundational documents. In addition, Keystone can help you with inheritance tax and estate tax planning, special needs planning, retirement planning, trusts and any other estate planning matters. Life sometimes presents the unexpected, and circumstances can change in a matter of seconds. While completion of these documents leads us to think about situations that usually aren’t pleasant, we can have peace of mind that should an event occur that impairs our ability to function independently, we still have some control over decision-making because our wishes have been clearly written down.
