Elder Care Planning | Who Needs it?

[ Legally Remote, PLLC | Located in High Springs, FL | Serving All Florida Residents ]

Thanks to healthier lifestyles and enhanced medical technology, life expectancy in the U.S. are at an all-time high. But that also means more seniors will require some form of long-term care. Whether in-home assistance or a long-term nursing home stay, it’s becoming inevitable that most of us will require such care at some point in our lives.

Problem is, such long-term care is growing more expensive every day. In fact, some studies estimate that nearly two-thirds of families will run out of money within the first year or two of moving into a nursing home. Unfortunately, most private health insurance plans and Medicare don’t cover long-term care costs—which can average $8,000 to $15,000+ per month in Florida, depending on the level of care you require.

Planning for Everyone You Love and Everything You Have 

Do you know what would happen legally- to you, your loved ones, your money and everything else you care about – if something unexpected happened to you? 

If you have an estate plan and it’s out of date, your assets could be lost to the State Department of Unclaimed Property, or to an unnecessary Court process. 

If you don’t know exactly what would happen for everyone you love and everything you own, then the first step is to find out exactly what would happen, legally and financially, so that you can decide if the current state of your affairs is okay with you.
