We are known for our planning for:
Farmers & Ranchers
Farming and ranching are not simply ways to earn a living, they are a way of life. Given that your farm or ranch is likely your most valuable asset as well as the place you call home, you need an estate plan and business plan to protect your operation, your way of life, your family and future generations. We will work closely with you to determine the planning tools and strategies best-suited to your particular needs and goals. Then, we will design a customized, comprehensive plan to meet every single one them.
Long-Term Care & Medicaid
One of the primary goals of elder law is to help seniors find ways to pay for expensive long-term care. We can design a plan in advance to protect your assets in the event you or a loved one requires long-term care in the future. Long-term care planning is a holistic approach that helps coordinate the legal, financial, health and personal care needs for adults to build a better future. In addition, we can help you overcome what is known as a Medicaid planning crisis situation, where an individual must enter a nursing home very soon, or is already living in one, and has been informed that he or she owns too many assets to qualify for Medicaid assistance.
Business Owners & Professionals
Business owners must also address the unique challenges associated with choosing the proper business entity, running the business itself, and transitioning out of the business profitably when the time comes to retire. It is crucial that business owners have holistic planning in place to ensure their goals are achieved. Professionals often face unique opportunities and threats that with proper planning, you can solidify your dreams and take care of your loved ones.
Physicians
We have a long history of working with physicians to provide comprehensive, innovative and strategic plans. You have worked too hard, and sacrificed too much, to put yourself, your family and your practice at risk by failing to plan properly. We can design a customized, comprehensive plan to help you prepare for and protect against potential threats. By using the right planning techniques to protect and manage your assets, we can also maximize your earning potential.
