Elder Law

Massachusetts Elder Law Attorney

In approaching your golden years, there are many important considerations that should be addressed. What types of life sustaining care are you comfortable with? Will long-term care planning be necessary? Who do you trust to make financial decisions on your behalf? How do you wish to pass on your legacy? Although it is never comfortable answering these questions, avoidance only results in someone else making these decisions for you. Contact the Law Office of Michael T. Lahti to schedule a consultation with a Certified Elder Law Attorney.

Comprehensive Elder Law Services in Florida

The Law Office of Michael T. Lahti is able to provide full service elder law guidance to clients locally in New Bedford and surrounding communities. We assist clients by answering their questions and planning for the many legal concerns that may arise in one's elder years. We provide reasonable and cost effective guidance with issues, such as:

• Estate planning: We assist clients with creating wills and trusts, advance directives, adult guardianships, and planning to avoid probate.
• Planning for incapacity: a sudden medical condition, surgery, or mishap may leave you incapable of handling your healthcare and finances. We assist clients with proactively creating living wills, powers of attorney, and other healthcare directives.
• Nursing home planning and Medicaid planning: moving into a nursing home or other long-term care facility does not mean you have to put all of your assets toward the cost of residency. We assist clients with asset protection planning which renders them eligible for Medicaid/Medicare.
