Special Needs and Elder Law Attorneys in Torrance, CA
Our seasoned lawyers will help your family handle legal challenges involving seniors and loved ones
with special needs.
Plan for Senior Family Members or Loved Ones with Special Needs
If you have family member with special needs or an advanced age, you need more than an estate planning attorney — you need an expert in the field and a seasoned advocate for the disabled and elderly. While many attorneys have a working knowledge of public benefits for the disabled, shifting eligibility policies and requirements for public benefits can create complicated legal knots that demand unique finesse and expertise of an experienced elder law attorney in Torrance.
With almost three decades of success protecting the elderly and those with special needs, we can help you strategize for all aspects of public benefits planning, either in a private special needs trust setting, or personal injury setting. We can also help plan your assets to maintain eligibility for benefits, in compliance with new rules affecting those under Medi-Cal and the Able Act.
Case Study
Tony is unable to work due to a disability and receives aid through SSI and Medi-Cal. When he inherited $200,000 from a family member, he was ineligible for his current public benefits, leaving him with no means of support. We were able to work with Tony to create a Special Needs Trust, leaving him with a Trust to meet his needs, while still maintaining eligibility for SSI and Medi-Cal benefits.
