Committed to Taking Care of Our Senior Citizens

Currently, senior citizens comprise the fastest-growing segment of the US population. The percentage of Americans retiring in line with the traditional retirement rules, is rising steadily.

As the aging population continues to grow, it is important that families of aging individuals help them make important decisions concerning their retirement, health care, asset preservation, and estate planning needs so that they are better prepared for the future. 

This is where an experienced elder law attorney can help you create a plan for ones' elderly family member. Here is how the experienced attorney, Kim M. Smith, at Kim Smith Law Group, PLLC and her team can help you.
  • Addressing the specific needs of your loved one while being sensitive to their preferences, personal values, and family dynamics
  • Finding the right, workable solutions that work for your elderly relative and your family while protecting their dignity
  • Providing legal assistance and guidance in "crisis" situations
    • We can help you in a situation where the senior would need long-term care, for which you had not planned in advance, and you would need to make quick decisions.
    • In such a situation, we'll do our best to preserve as much of the individual's legacy as is possible.
    • Trust us to provide you with effective legal advice and help you put a plan into action.
In this regard, our firm is committed to keeping themselves updated on the latest changes in legislation that can affect our clients. This would help us come up with the best plan for them, based on the prevailing laws. 

If you need assistance with estate planning for your elderly loved one, please request an appointment today.
