Services
Attorney Julie H. Nommensen joined her father in the practice of law in 2008. Julie is an Elkhorn native and always had aspirations of following in her father's footsteps. Julie's passion is serving the elderly and those who care for them. She counsels families regarding Medicaid/Title 19 and how to plan for potential future nursing home care.
Title 19 (also called "Medicaid") is the government program that pays for the long-term care of certain individuals. Medicaid assistance, however, is provided only to those individuals who are "eligible". You do not necessarily have to be "poor" to be eligible. The eligibility requirements can be very confusing and complex.
Buying or selling a house can be one of the most important financial transactions of your life. It's no wonder why so many people insist upon having an attorney guide them through the process. An attorney will make sure that your interests are properly protected. The end result is a much smoother transaction, and the peace of mind of knowing that everything was done right.
The guardianship process usually begins when family or friends become concerned about an individual's welfare. Perhaps this individual suffers from infirmities of aging or a mental illness, and is incapable of managing his or her own finances or caring for him or herself. In a circumstance such as this, it may be necessary to have a "Guardian" appointed by the Court to serve as a substitute decision-maker for the incompetent person (the "ward").
Estate planning is the process of putting your affairs in order before you die or become incompetent. The cornerstone of most estate plans is a Will. In addition to your Will, your estate plan should also include a financial power of attorney and a health care power of attorney. Under certain circumstances, we also may advise the use of a trust.
