Estate Planning Law Firm ? Elder Law Attorneys

We are proud members of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.

Machado & Carden practices law that is focused on planning for its clients' futures and solving problems that come as surprises to its clients.

Solving Immediate Problems

A client might seek immediate representation following the sudden illness of a spouse, such as a stroke. What will happen if a family member faces nursing home care for the rest of their life? The firm offers a wide variety problem solving services if a family member requires long-term care, including Medicaid planning, and advance directives. Upon the death of a family member we can assist you with estate tax advice, estate administration, and probate representation. Our attorneys also represent people who need to establish guardianship or conservatorship over the estate of an aging or vulnerable adult. The firm's elder law attorneys understand that many clients need legal advice during emotional times that require compassion, empathy, and assurances that the problems will be resolved without adding undue stress to an already difficult time.

Preventing Future Problems

The firm also offers services to people who recognize that planning for the future requires action in the present. The attorneys of Machado & Carden start to build relationships with clients by developing comprehensive estate and long-term care planning evaluations. The evaluations identify the best strategies to pursue in order to meet clients' estate planning and long-term health care objectives. The attorneys will examine relevant circumstances and issues in the clients' financial situation. They explain the related law and recommendations to clients so that clients make informed decisions that can greatly impact their futures.

The complex and ever-evolving rules of Medicaid play an increasingly important role with respect to traditional estate planning concerns. The estate planning attorneys keep current with changes and developments in the law to create strategies that help protect clients against future uncertainties.

The experienced attorneys at Machado & Carden, LLP, can help you prepare for, and resolve all of your estate planning and administration needs. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with one of our elder law lawyers at one of our convenient offices or in your home.
