Elder care legal planning

Plan for care before you need it.

A year of long-term care can cost more than a decade of savings. The earlier we talk, the more of the home and savings we can protect, and the more choices you keep.

Sound familiar?

  • You or a parent may need assisted living or nursing care in the next few years
  • You want to keep the house in the family
  • You're worried Medicaid rules will take everything first
  • You're an adult child trying to help a parent get ahead of this

How we help

Knox Legacy Law has helped seniors and their families for over twenty years. We look at your health, your family, and what you own, then lay out the options: what can be protected, by when, and what it costs. Then we build it.

Adult children often start this conversation. We're glad to meet with the whole family, and we're clear about whose interests we represent.

Common questions

Is it too late if care is needed soon?

Usually not. Options narrow as care gets closer, but there is almost always something worth doing. Tell us where things stand and we'll tell you what is still open to you.

Will I lose control of my home?

Protecting a home does not mean moving out of it. What you keep and what you give up depends on the tool we use, and we walk through that trade-off with you before you decide anything.

The earlier we talk, the more we can protect.

Bring your questions and a rough picture of what you own. We'll explain your options and what each one costs.
