Elder law is another aspect of estate planning, focusing primarily on the needs of families and individuals as they age. Issues of aging include senior housing and home care, long-term (or nursing home) care, guardianships and health care documents, Medicare and Medicaid. As our population ages, more and more of us confront elder law-related issues, whether for ourselves or our parents.
There are many legal strategies involved in estate planning, including wills, revocable living trusts, irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, and health care documents. New clients often say that they do not have an estate plan. Most people are surprised to learn that they actually do have a plan.
If there is a dementia diagnosis in your family, it is important that you don't travel this journey alone. When you are making a plan to pay for the care of your loved one, you must remember that not all disability documents are created equal and it is so important that you prepare for what is to come.
Change is life's only constant. Sometimes these changes strike without warning. If you or a loved one has experienced a sudden illness or serious accident, you understand how abruptly everything can change. Are you or a loved one suddenly in need of nursing home care? Finding and affording quality care on short notice can be stressful and draining.
Probate and estate administration are the processes through which estate assets are transferred after death. When probate avoidance planning has not been implemented prior to death, the state will require a probate court proceeding if the deceased was a resident or owned assets in the state. Probate can be supervised or unsupervised.

I am so grateful to Van Dyke Law! I do not live locally and am only able to help my parents through phone contact. Leslie is a Godsend! She is always very responsive to my calls and went above and beyond to assist my parents with a real estate transaction. She understands that not all elders know how to utilize today's technology, which creates a great deal of stress for them. My parents raved about the entire Van Dyke team. As a person who has hearing loss, my step-father told me that Fiona was easy to talk to and understand and he felt she really listened to him! I spoke with him today and he

Fiona Van Dyck and I are both members of a small group of lawyers who gather quarterly in the middle of the country. We come together to help each other achieve excellence for our clients, our colleagues, our families, and ourselves. Through this work I have gotten to know Fiona as a person of great integrity and intelligence--a woman you can trust to do the work and do it well. If I were lucky enough to live in Princeton and needed help with estate planning or the care of an elder, I cannot imagine choosing any firm but Van Dyck Law.
