The Long-Term Care System is a complicated ecosystem of care providers, care facilities, Medicare, Medicaid, Long term care insurance, Doctor's appointments, nutrition, social interaction, mental health, and legal issues. How does someone navigate this complex system when they are dealing with the diminished physical and mental capacity of a loved one?
Estate planning isn't about how much money you have, it's about protecting what you have for you, during your lifetime, and for those you love after you're gone. It ensures what you have gets to the people you love, the way you want when you want. If you were to die today, are you comfortable and sure that everything will be taken care of the way you wanted?
If the estate is too large to qualify for simplified probate, you'll need to conduct a formal probate proceeding. This is a court-supervised process and is considered a "cleansing of the assets" before they can be distributed to the beneficiaries. This begins when the executor named in the will files the will with the Register of Wills in the county in which the deceased person lived.

Suffering the loss of a loved one and having to deal with the probate process can be overwhelming. Gina was very professional and compassionate while helpng me through the process. What was becoming a nightmare for me was completely and quickly resolved. Everyone I came in contact with in the office was very kind and helpful.

I can not say enough good things about Sean and Gina. My husband reached out for help regarding our options for keeping my Grandmother’s house in our family. She was in a nursing home for what was supposed to be short-term skilled nursing but ended up needing to use Medicaid long-term benefits when her Medicare/AARP benefits were exhausted. She was reluctant to do this because of estate recovery since her home was really the only asset she had. We met with Sean and Gina and Sean proposed that we transfer the home to her son per the Estate Recovery stipulation that a home can be transferred to
