Getting Started

If you have a parent or another loved one who may no longer be able to take care of himself or herself, it is natural to be concerned. The fear of doing the wrong thing is real, and it is debilitating. Deciding what to do can be difficult, but we can help because our lawyers:

• Listen carefully to understand your situation.

• Bring years of training and experience to the process.

• Carefully explain your legal options.

• Prepare the tools you need: your wills and trusts, powers of attorney, guardianship applications, and necessary probate documents.

• Thoroughly discuss the requirements and procedures for obtaining long-term care Medicaid benefits and protecting your assets at the same time.

• Know the Corpus Christi area and can refer you to numerous health care providers, nursing homes and other elder care facilities and service providers.
