A recent study found that up to one million older Americans are targeted yearly for elder abuse. Family members and caregivers are the culprits in fifty-five percent of all elder abuse cases. Our observations in Hunterdon, Warren, and Somerset Counties in New Jersey are that this estimated number of one million elder abuse cases is understated.
Medicaid is a federal program administered by each state which pays for medical care after assets are depleted. Medicaid is often called upon to pay for nursing home care when the family runs out of money. However, Medicaid generally does not pay long-term care costs for those who do not need medical assistance.
Medicaid eligibility requires a review of assets and spending for a period of five years prior to qualifying for benefits. It is important that families consider loss of Medicaid benefits when managing assets and expenditures. Such Medicaid planning is a routine service for an Elder Law attorney. To apply for Medicaid, a detailed application must be submitted.
Buying and selling real estate involves property targeting, contract execution, due diligence inquiries, contract contingencies, title review, potential government approvals, financing, closing, and post-closing work. It is important that you hire an attorney experienced in real estate, land use, zoning, and municipal requirements to handle your transaction.

Ms. Voit is an exceptionally knowledgeable lawyer who gets to the root of the problem quickly. She made a horrible situation bearable and actually saved me a significant amount of money. She did this while making me feel comfortable and supported. I am very grateful to have her as a professional advisor.
Thanks

I highly recommend this firm if you need a Living Will and Last Will and Testament. Mr. Shanahan was thorough explaining everything my husband and I needed to know and very easy to talk to. We found everyone that helped us complete this process to be extremely professional and helpful. We are very pleased with our decision to use them.
