When do I Need an Elder Law Attorney?

Your golden years should be, well — golden. But aging comes with its own set of challenges. Our experienced Northern Kentucky elder law attorneys can help you and your loved ones navigate those challenges with grace, protecting your wealth and assets and preserving your dignity during this chapter.

Advance Planning

The best time to begin planning for the challenges that accompany advanced age is NOW — while you are healthy and able to make sound decisions about your care, family, and financial well-being. And if you or your aging loved one has recently been diagnosed with a progressive disease like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s, it’s particularly important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure you and your assets are well protected.

Crisis Planning

Injury and illness can strike suddenly, especially in later life. If you find yourself in a position where you or your elderly loved one has entered or will soon be entering a long-term care facility due to a bad fall, stroke, or other unanticipated event, our compassionate attorneys are here to help.

Whether you’re in crisis mode or preparing for later life, our expert elder law attorneys get to know you, your family, and your individual circumstances, creating a plan that safeguards things you’ve worked hard for your entire life. The Jaeger Firm can help you:
