Powers of Attorney for Health & Finances

Advance Directives / Living Wills

Asset Preservation Strategies (non-crisis)

Successor planning for aging couples

Caregiver coordination support

Avoiding conservatorship through planning

We help families understand how to plan well before the nursing home becomes a reality without rushing through emergency Medicaid applications.

Please note: We do not offer Medicaid crisis planning or last-minute “spend down” strategies. Our focus is on proactive, intentional planning years in advance of long-term care needs.

Why Plan for Long-Term Care Now?

  • 70% of people over 65 will need some form of long-term care
  • Nursing home care in Georgia can cost $80,000+/year
  • Without planning, families often have to spend down assets or go to court
  • Many adult children are unprepared to step into caregiver or financial roles

We help you put the right documents, protections, and people in place now, so your wishes are honored later, no matter what happens.
