The Law Offices of Scott D Bloom Elder Law

The Law Office of Scott D. Bloom prides itself in creating a family relationship with it’s clients. Elder Law is important and home visits are also very important. We meet with families in Assisted Living Communities, Skilled Nursing Facilities or anywhere they feel comfortable. We want to meet with all parties involved with the senior(s) in question so as to get a thorough understanding of all issues involved. While the senior is our client, we recognize the needs of other family members to be involved, to the fullest extent possible in the decisions and choices being presented. Initial consultations are always free, we charge nothing to discuss a potential client’s situation . We feel this is very important and our way of showing that we truly care and take a stake in the client’s situation.

This question is asked all the time: “Wouldn't it be easier to get a will off the internet, transfer my land when I die, and put my children on my bank account?” It’s just not a good idea. For the plan to work as you would want it to, it should account for plenty of complications. A good plan should protect your spouse and your children from the loss of valuable government benefits if anybody is or becomes disabled. The plan should avoid the delay and expense of probate court. The plan should protect money from children’s creditors or divorce or remarriage. It should be crafted to serve family harmony and to avoid disputes between children as joint owners. Even a relatively simple situation is made up of many moving parts. Internet documents and joint-ownership devices just won’t do the job.

Also, assembling the moving parts so they work smoothly is just the first step. Your estate plan needs maintenance too, just like your car has a “check engine” light. Major family events like serious illness or death, marriage, birth, or financial reversals are alerts that you should tune up your plan to reflect those changes. Your plan shouldn’t be “one and done.”

It takes expertise to coordinate the various strategies available. Don’t risk a result that will cause your family problems and unnecessary expense. Call us to create a plan that harmonizes the moving parts, so the gears will work together and you will leave the legacy you intended. We hope you found this article helpful.

CLIENT Testimonial

Our family had the good fortune to find Scott Bloom.  He was invaluable helping us set up our trust. We had an unexpected health crises and realized that we had nothing in place to protect our children.  Scott explained our options and got the necessary paperwork ready for us to hand to our family, accountant and banks. Scott was absolutely the right attorney at the right time for us. We would highly recommend him and his team.
