Western Pennsylvania Medicaid Planning Attorney Pittsburgh Probate Lawyer PA

Seniors face a number of challenges that go along with aging: declining capacity to handle personal and financial affairs, dementia from Alzheimer's Disease and other causes, and nursing home admission, to name just a few. That is why careful planning by an experienced elder law and estate planning attorney is essential.

At the Medicaid Planning Law Center we help seniors and adult children of aging parents meet these challenges. We help clients protect their assets and pass them on to heirs/beneficiaries, qualify for Pennsylvania Medicaid and other public benefit programs while preserving their assets, establish power of attorney or guardianship, and plan for the future through wills, trusts and estate planning. In addition to handling all aspects of elder law, we will listen carefully to your concerns and patiently explain all information to you.

Our firm is committed to meeting the legal needs of the elderly and their families in Western Pennsylvania. We offer elder law services to meet the needs of people who:

Are trying to pay for nursing home costs or qualify for Medicaid;
Have a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease or another form of dementia;
Recently lost a loved one and need to probate an estate;
