Many people tend to focus mainly on their immediate financial needs during their working years. They plan to save their hard-earned money and grow their assets. While it is important to save for your retirement and the children's education, it is equally important to plan for the long-term so that you're not left unprepared in case of an emergency.
The loss of a loved one can be a devastating experience. Implementing their estate plan and ensuring effective administration of the estate can be a challenging process. There are numerous legal and tax requirements to be met. In addition, this process can also lead to conflict among the family members of the late individual.
With the high costs of home care and nursing home care today, one's life savings can be depleted very quickly when an individual requires long-term care either at home or in a facility and does not have long term care insurance to cover the cost of their care or has not done Medicaid planning. Medicaid planning is the practice of preserving assets by securing eligibility for government benefits to cover the cost of custodial care.

I went to Kim several years ago when faced with a devastating issue for a family member. She always explains my options in a caring way, and has always been available to answer any questions. Kim has always demonstrated a high degree of professionalism, and her knowledge extends well beyond the law. The staff are also wonderful and always available when needed. I gladly recommended her to family and friends without hesitation.
