Frequently Asked Questions About Family Law in Houston, Texas
What does an elder law attorney do, and how can they help my family in Houston?
An elder law attorney focuses on legal issues affecting older adults and their families. They can help with estate planning, long-term care arrangements, Medicaid planning, and other public benefits planning. For Houston residents, these attorneys can also guide you through Texas-specific laws and local resources to meet your family’s needs. Contact Your Legacy Legal Care® to schedule a strategy session.
How can an elder law attorney assist with Medicaid planning for nursing home care in Texas?
Medicaid planning can be complex, but an elder law attorney can help you qualify for benefits without depleting your life’s savings. At Your Legacy Legal Care® we do this through strategies like creating trusts, reorganizing assets, and addressing Texas Medicaid requirements for long-term care, which differ from other states.
What steps should I take to protect my aging parent’s estate in Houston?
To protect an aging parent’s estate, start by working with an elder law attorney to create or update essential documents like wills, trusts, and powers of attorney. An elder law firm can assess your parent’s assets and develop strategies to protect their estate from probate or unnecessary taxes.
How does guardianship work in Texas, and when is it necessary?
Guardianship is a legal process in Texas that gives someone the right to make decisions for an elderly person who is unable to manage their own affairs. It’s necessary when a loved one becomes incapacitated and hasn’t already designated someone through a power of attorney. An elder law attorney can guide you through the guardianship process, which requires court approval.
What options are available for planning long-term care in Houston?
Houston families have various long-term care options, including in-home care, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes. An elder law attorney can help you evaluate these options based on your financial situation and assist in understanding resources like long-term care insurance or Medicaid benefits.
Can an elder law attorney help me draft or update a will or power of attorney in Texas?
An elder law attorney can draft or update wills or powers of attorney in compliance with Texas law and tailored to your specific needs. A power of attorney allows someone you trust to make financial or medical decisions on your behalf, while a will distributes your assets according to your wishes.
