Estate Planning, Elder Law, and Non-traditional Family Issues

At the law office of Richard W. Thompson, we will work with you so you understand your options in various elder law matters. We provide attentive and thorough legal guidance to help you address the legal challenges you will face in the years ahead. An attorney who understands estate planning and Medicaid planning can be of great value to you and your family during this time. We are dedicated to helping our clients understand all their options so that, no matter what their situation, they can protect their rights through:

• Medicaid Planning — Many people are afraid they will have to spend down in order to qualify for Medicaid, but in truth there are many available options that can help people protect their assets. We can help you develop a plan that works for you.
• Estate Planning — If you are looking to avoid probate, we can set up the trusts you need to protect your rights in the future.
• Simple Estate Planning — Creating a basic estate plan does not have to be complicated or expensive. We can help you plan for your future cost-effectively while also protecting the interests of your loved ones.
• Guardianships — A guardian is a court-appointed caretaker. This legal arrangement is used to protect the interests of one individual who can no longer take care of him or herself. This can include a disabled person, aging parent or relative, or child.
• Non-traditional Families / Gay and Lesbian Partners (GLBT) — From matters of adoption to hospital visitation rights, we help non-traditional families protect their rights. The legal system does little to protect the rights of non-traditional families, but there are simple steps you can take now to protect your rights in the future.
