Elder Law

Attorney Moshe B. Newman was named One of the 10 Best Elder Law Attorneys in the State of Michigan by the American Institute of Legal Counsel.

The primary purpose of an Elder Law Attorney is to help aging Americans navigate through the issues of life that arise simply because of age. Whether those issues are related to healthcare, long-term care planning, retirement, social security, or patient advocacy regarding elder abuse, we at The Legacy Law Firm make your needs our priority.

Assisted Living and Nursing Homes

Nursing Homes are expensive! Assisted Living facilities start at $3,000 per month in Michigan; skilled nursing care facilities can cost upwards of $8,000-$10,000 per month. Many people cannot afford those costs, and Medicare will not pay for more than 100 days in such places.

Medicaid will pay for it all, including medications, but their rules and regulations are tricky. At The Legacy Law Firm, we specialize in helping people get approved for Medicaid, enabling them to be cared for in the manner they deserve.

Neglected Care

It is difficult to find a quality Nursing Home that is both renowned and affordable. Too many of the elders in our society are neglected the care they require, and to make matters worse, many are taken advantage of by their Guardians. Our goal is to make sure your loved one is treated like they deserve.

Abuse and Fraud

Unfortunately, the elderly are a common target when it comes to abuse and fraud. We have encountered too many Conservators who find themselves in control of someone else’s money, believing themselves entitled to take what is not theirs. At The Legacy Law Firm, we will make sure your desires are met, and you are cared for properly. For more information regarding Probate Litigation, click here.
