Protecting the Rights and Assets of the Elderly
Elder Law attorneys prepare documents such as wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, health care proxies, living wills, promissory notes and Medicaid applications in order to help their clients plan for the future. There are times when this is just not enough and you need someone with substantial litigation experience to fight for your rights.
At my firm, the Law Office of Robert L. Boydstun, in White Plains, New York, I am not afraid to litigate on your behalf.

The Aggressive Approach You Need for Medicaid Planning
To put it simply, I am a litigator. While I try initially to accomplish my clients' plans and goals amicably, an aggressive approach is often vital. The federal government has not made it easy on Medicaid applicants. It continually changes the rules, and not in our clients' favor. Look-back periods have been extended, and severe penalties exist if the government decides that an applicant has improperly disposed of assets in order to qualify for Medicaid. Medicaid may disagree as to the level of services that are needed by our client. Your attorney should not be afraid to litigate when these issues arise.
An Elder Law Attorney That Listens to Your Concerns
At the Law Office of Robert L. Boydstun, I will listen to your concerns so that I can more effectively provide you with a plan for the protection of your assets and of your spouse, children and grandchildren. Later in life, many elderly persons are likely to have long-term care needs that may involve a nursing home stay or in-home care. While we all think that this will not happen to us, it occurs with too great frequency. You do not want to wait until you need a nursing home or in-home care before you figure out how you will pay for it. Then it is too late to purchase long-term-care insurance or to make other plans, and your assets are at great risk.
You require an experienced elder law advocate who will help you plan for your later years and who will fight, when necessary, to protect your rights. Contact my office today.
