Elder Law & Long-Term Care Planning

Wilchins Cosentino & Novins Law Firm
The elder law attorneys at Wilchins Cosentino & Novins specialize in responding to the unique and sensitive elder law challenges related to aging and the possible need for long-term care.
Our elder law attorneys help clients understand and adapt to the complex and frequently changing rules about making gifts and protecting their home and other assets from long-term care costs.

The elder law attorneys at Wilchins Cosentino & Novins work with clients to develop and implement practical solutions so that they can protect assets from nursing home costs and properly qualify and apply for Medicaid assistance to pay for needed health care and related services, whether they live at home, in assisted living or in a nursing home.

In addition to planning in advance of a long-term care need, our long-term care and elder law attorneys also have extensive experience in preparing and filing applications for Medicaid coverage, including subsequent dealings with caseworkers and hearing officers. We can also be a valuable resource for referring clients to qualified elder health professionals, such as geriatric care managers and private and public health care agencies.

Elder law and estate planning for elders involves several special considerations because of the very specific rules that apply to long-term care planning. Our elder law attorneys work regularly with elder clients to craft tax-efficient plans suited for their personal needs, including the use of certain types of irrevocable and revocable trusts, wills and testamentary trusts, life estate and special power of appointment deeds, intra-family agreements and transactions, caregiver contracts, long-term care insurance, reverse mortgages, durable powers of attorney, health care proxies, advance care directives and other important documents.

Wilchins Cosentino & Novins’ conservatorship attorneys also have extensive experience helping clients file for guardianships and conservatorships when mental and/or physical disabilities prevent a person from being able to competently make decisions about their personal, health and/or financial affairs. Guardianship and conservatorship proceedings take place in the probate and family courts, where our team of elder law attorneys has extensive experience in both amicable and contested cases.
