Elder Law and Estate Planning

At Holland, Brady & Grabowski, P.C., our attorneys have several years of experience dealing with elderly clients and families of elderly clients to discuss ways to protect them and their loved ones now that the sunset years have come. Sometimes it is necessary to protect the older person's assets so that they will not have to live in poverty without medical care in their last years. There are many programs available through the county, state and federal governments that are intended to provide services to the elderly; however, applying for these programs and meeting their eligibility requirements can be a daunting task for the elderly and their families.

We at Holland, Brady & Grabowski, P.C. are experienced in working with the government agencies and assisting the elderly through the application process for these various benefits.

Our attorneys are more than willing to sit down with you and your family to discuss what needs to be done to protect your assets and to ensure that your final years are spent knowing that you have provided for your family and yourself in case of illness or inability to handle your own affairs.

For those elderly clients who did not have an estate plan in place, sometimes it is too late to give someone power of attorney over your financial and personal decisions. It is at that time that guardianship proceedings need to be instituted in Orphans' Court so that a close friend or family member or an independent agency can be appointed to make decisions for the incapacitated person - both personally and financially.
