More Than Just Estate Planning
Elder Law is a specialized off-shoot of traditional estate planning. While estate planning focuses on what happens after you pass, Elder Law focuses on maintaining your quality of life while you are still here.
We assist families in navigating complex elder law concerns such as long-term care insurance, disability planning, the creation of Special Needs Trusts, and spend-down planning to qualify for Medicaid assistance (commonly called Title XIX in CT).

Medicaid planning must be performed well in advance. The state enforces a strict five-year look-back period on all assets, gifts, and funds owned. If you transfer assets too late, you may be disqualified from assistance.
