Elder Law Attorney - Norristown, Pennsylvania
Elder law is a specialized area of law dealing with financial and personal issues that face individuals as they enter their senior years. These matters need to be approached with thoughtfulness, sensitivity and knowledge. At the Law Office of Eric J. Cox, I have more than 30 years of experience handling a range of elder law and estate planning issues for seniors and their families located throughout Montgomery County, and the surrounding Pennsylvania communities.
There are a wide variety of issues that an elder law lawyer can provide counsel and guidance with, including:
- Qualifying for Medicare / Medicaid through proper asset planning
- Review of a care facility contract to ensure needs will be properly met
- Finding ways of protecting and safeguarding the assets that you have
- Taking advantage of legal exemptions
- Assistance with wills and other documents and paperwork
- Establishing a trust to pay for long-term care prior to the need
- Assistance with drafting powers of attorney and other advanced directives that deal with issues of incapacity and medical treatment
I understand the potential stress and anxiety that dealing with elder law issues may cause. Elder law impacts all aspects of your life, from where you live and how you structure your finances to what you decide is appropriate end-of-life care. This is why I work to provide a comfortable office atmosphere to put you at ease while discussing the issues you or a loved one are facing.
Estate Planning for Aging Individuals
It is important that elderly people have a comprehensive and up-to-date estate plan in place. This helps protect assets and ensures that they will be distributed according to the person's wishes upon their death. An estate plan can also detail how an individual wishes to be cared for medically if they are unable to communicate their preferences.
