Elder Law, Wills & Estate Planning

You should consider the person to whom you entrust the responsibility of carrying out your last wishes. Planning is important no matter the size of your estate. Proper planning will help you insure that your property will go to those family members you want, the way you want, and when you want. The Ventre Law Office will develop a complete estate plan, help you to protect your assets and assist you in the orderly transfer of your estate.

The Ventre Law Office can help you avoid probate by considering:

• Joint Ownership with Rights of Survival
• Life Estates
• Revocable Living Trusts

Probate & Estate Administration

If you have been nominated or appointed executor of an estate the Ventre Law Office can help you in the orderly administration of the estate, manage estate assets, complete probate and final distribution of the estate.

Will Contests

If you believe a will is invalid, or made under questionable circumstances, or if someone is challenging a will that you have been named as executor or estate you are administering, the Ventre Law Office can provide the legal help you need.

Medicaid, Nursing Home Planning & Preserving Family Assets

One of the greatest fears of older Americans is that they may end up in a nursing home. Most people end up paying for nursing home care out of their savings until they run out of money. Careful advance planning, or planning in anticipation of a nursing home application, can help you protect your assets for your spouse and your children.

In light of the New York State plan to restrict Medicaid Eligibility that exposes family savings, the elder law attorney is challenged to provide a plan with a method to transfer and preserve assets and find a solution to help families secure long-term care
needs. The Ventre Law Office can help provide a plan with a method to transfer assets to caretakers for the services they provide to their elderly parents and disabled family
members. The Ventre Law Office can help you when considering Elder Law Issues in
drafting Wills, Trusts, Medicaid and Nursing Home Planning and preservation of family assets including:

• Preservation of Assets
• Nursing Home Planning
• Living Wills & Trusts
• Medicaid Applications
• Durable Power of Attorney
• Life Estates
• Health Care Proxy
• Long-Term Care Insurance
