Elder Law

Elder Law focuses on the whole person whose health and mental state require special care, attention and protection due to age or special needs. We integrate the legal, social and medical concerns of our clients and their families.

Elder law attorneys advocate for older adults and their loved ones.

Medicaid is the federal program that can pay for a skilled nursing facility that is for medically and financially needy individuals. Medicaid programs vary state by state. In Massachusetts, this program is run by MassHealth. We can help you navigate the Medicaid application process in Massachusetts, help protect assets in Massachusetts using Asset Protection Trusts and qualify a loved one for Medicaid. If you find yourself or a loved one suddenly needing Medicaid, all is not lost- contact us immediately to see what can be done to protect assets and get qualified.

Integrative Legal can help determine the best plan moving forward to care for an elder spouse or elder parents, including advice on paying for long term care and preserving assets for a spouse at home or a legacy for children. We can also help with planning for and dealing with a disability, including special needs trusts.
