As individuals age, they often face increased vulnerability—whether through financial exploitation, undue influence, or lack of access to proper care and legal protections. Elder Law is important because it provides a legal framework to safeguard seniors from being taken advantage of, while also ensuring their rights, dignity, and wishes are respected. It encompasses critical areas such as long-term care planning, guardianship, estate protection, and eligibility for government benefits like Medicaid.

Private Path can help families navigate these complex issues with clarity and compassion. The firm offers tailored legal solutions that protect assets, minimize court involvement, and ensure loved ones are cared for according to their values and intentions. Whether you're planning ahead or responding to a crisis, Private Path is here to guide you through the legal landscape with privacy, confidence, and care.

Like most attorneys we will say it depends on your specific situation... However, wills typically need to proceed through the probate process, while trusts typically are private and do not require probate. The costs for these services differ depending on each situation. At Private Path we offer our estate planning services at a flat fee discussed at our initial meeting. 

Estate planning involves organizing your affairs and preparing for the management of your assets in the event of your incapacity or death. It can also include planning for those times when you are incapacitated. 

This is a good question to always ask. Children can be a big point of contention in your family,especially if your wishes are not legally binding. There is also the possibility of the government or courts stepping in and putting your children in a home (adoption, foster care, wrong family member, etc.) that will not pass on your values. An estate plan with guardianship designation can keep this from happening to your family. 

An good estate plan ensures that your wishes are followed regarding the distribution of your estate and the care of any minor children. It can also provide protections of any legacy left to those you leave behind. 

Yes... you definitely need an estate plan. Unfortunately bad things happen, even to really young people. It will be a burden on someone to deal with your estate if something happens. Additionally, the right estate plan can help even if you do not die, but are incapacitated.
