St. Paul and Minneapolis Elder Law AttorneysThe elder law attorneys at Gerten and Van Valkenburg, PA, work with seniors and their families to help them plan for the needs and challenges that can come with age. Our lawyers assist families with: - Estate planning
- Tax planning, asset protection strategies and gifting strategies
- Business succession planning
- Long-term care planning, including Medicare planning and the use of special needs trusts
- Guardianship and conservatorship of vulnerable seniors
When it comes to securing the financial future of a senior, it helps to be proactive. For example, if you suspect that nursing home care may someday be needed, there are a number of things we can do to help you plan in advance in order to ensure that nursing home care is affordable and to protect the financial stability of a spouse still at home. We also help families who are facing an immediate need for nursing home care. There are fewer options when facing an emergency situation, but we can advise you on the steps you can take in the position you are now facing. Contact Gerten and Van Valkenburg, PA, to speak with an experienced and compassionate elder law attorney. Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation Senior citizens can be especially vulnerable to financial exploitation and abuse. This can take the form of unethical salespeople selling products or services that are not needed or at inflated prices. It can be undue pressure put on a senior by a church or charitable institution for financial gain. It can be a care provider who misuses the funds of a senior. In the worst cases, it can be physical abuse and neglect. If you are concerned that an elder relative may have been the victim of financial exploitation or elder abuse, contact our office to speak with a lawyer. A guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary, or there may be other options to prevent the abuse or obtain a return of money to the senior citizen.
