New York Wills and Trusts Lawyer
Jacobowitz & Gubits, LLP, is proud to have earned the distinction of having two AARP-approved attorneys serving the needs of senior citizens and families concerned about the welfare of elderly parents and grandparents.
Elder Law Services
Elder law refers to legal services designed to help protect the financial assets, health and physical needs of senior citizens. A major part of our elder law practice is helping clients plan for retirement and Medicaid eligibility in the event long-term care is needed. Wherever you are in the state, call a New York lawyer for Medicaid planning today at 866-535-4743.
We have substantial experience in matters facing the elderly, including issues related to:
- Long Term Care Planning
- Medicare and Medicaid
- Landlord/tenant issues
- Guardianship
- Nursing home negligence personal injury litigation
- Estate Planning Services
Protecting the needs and rights of elders includes helping senior citizens protect their spouses and adult children from unnecessary probate issues and inheritance taxes upon death. We provide a full range of estate planning services to help families protect their assets through a variety of probate instruments, including:
- Wills and living trusts
- Charitable giving
- Advance health care directives
- Durable power of attorney for financial decisions
- Estate administration and probate matters
