Elder Law and Medicaid

Successful planning for life’s later stages involves more than wills, trusts, and probate planning.  All of these documents deal with the dispersion of your assets after your death, but how do you control your assets until then?  Miner Lemon & Walston, LLP provides clients throughout Indiana with cost-effective, novel solutions to life’s later problems.

As you grow older, your legal needs change.  Whether you need legal advice regarding Medicaid, Medicare, Veteran’s benefits or setting up a special needs trust, our team of elder law attorneys are here for you.

At Miner Lemon & Walston, LLP, we take seriously and are professionally committed to the needs of the elderly and persons with disabilities.  The attorneys and staff have attended untold hours of continuing legal education training on advanced elder law, estate planning and Medicaid planning issues.  We have lectured at dozens of public and private seminars, church events, and educational institutions, and written and delivered scholarly research papers to Elder Law attorneys and the legal bar.  We have counseled hundreds of elderly clients and their families on estate and Medicaid planning.  Our experience can be a major part of your solution to the costs and stresses of nursing home care for your loved ones.  It will be our privilege and delight to serve your needs.

If you are over the age of 65 and a wartime veteran or their surviving spouse, click here to receive our Veteran’s benefit guide.  This guide is written by W. Wayne Walston, Michael L. Miner, and Daniel K. Leininger, all partners at our firm, and details the many benefits offered to wartime veterans and their spouses.  Most people know that benefits are available to those wounded or disabled while serving our country, but the Veterans Administration estimates that there are millions of wartime veterans and spouses who are not aware of the benefits to which they are entitled.  Our free guide offers a glance into the benefits available and the claims process.

Taking the time to think about and plan for the later stages in your life gives you the opportunity to control your future.  Everyone has desires, hopes, and dreams.  But there may come a time when you are no longer able to voice those desires because of disease or disability.  Today is the time to plan for that.  At Miner Lemon & Walston, LLP we sit down with you and discuss end-of-life decisions like advanced directives or appointing someone to have medical power of attorney to make your healthcare decisions.  These documents allow you to control your last days in the same way that you controlled the rest of your life.  They also give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your loved ones won’t have to make the tough decisions, because you’ve already made them.
