Estate and elder law attorneys stand at the forefront of the fight to protect the rights of the elderly and infirm in New Jersey and throughout the country. Very often such attorneys are in the best position to help families plan, appreciate and understand the impact of New Jersey’s complex regulatory scheme upon residential institutional health-care facilities, and the best way to ensure the safety of individuals who usually cannot speak for themselves.
During the estate planning process, families very frequently reach out to Medicaid attorneys on issues of spending down personal assets, qualifying for Medicaid, establishing trusts and the like. Equally important in this regard is an appreciation of the frequently changing landscape of long-term care residential facilities along with the concomitant influx of big business upon the placement of institutional residents.
