Elder Law
Oh, the details! Planning for the senior years can be really overwhelming. Aging brings on many changes and concerns. Likewise, the laws governing finance and health care for older people are constantly changing. You may not know exactly what you need or what your options are, but you've heard lots of rumors (and probably a few horror stories). What's the right way to make these important decisions?
At Hickman & Lowder, forward thinking is second nature. Your comfort and security are why we practice a caring, comprehensive approach to problem-solving.
Hickman & Lowder attorneys are among Ohio's Elder Law pioneers. Our team's varied professional backgrounds include social work and mental health, as well as certifications in elder law*, enabling us to imagine the big picture in ways that other elder law attorneys often do not, and provide you with thoughtful, comprehensive counsel. Elder law's many facets include Medicaid, Social Security, retirement and disability planning, long-term and nursing care options, providing for your family, and leaving a legacy.
Rather than make a "one size fits all" recommendation, we take the time to get to know you as an individual and to learn about your particular circumstances. We're here to listen, and creatively and realistically plan for your security. We help you sort things out, understand your choices, and prioritize. Then we prepare the legal documents essential to protecting you and those you care about. Previously daunting notions about items like durable powers of attorney, living wills and advance directives, probate and estates, revocable living trusts and wills, etc., become tools for your success.
Not only do we educate you about your options and document your intentions, we also help you find and pay for long-term care services. Our compassionate guidance helps you navigate the complex choices and find a solution that's right for you and your family. Good decision-making takes solid information and thoughtful guidance. Hickman & Lowder is your steady hand.
