Westchester County Guardianship Lawyers
Personalized Attention in Elder Law Issues, Including Nursing Home Negligence
It us our firm's philosophy that elder law encompasses not only an individual's financial planning needs, but his or her long term care and comfort needs as well. If you were to become incapacitated, would your care wishes be met? How would your finances be managed? Who would make those decisions?
The New York guardianship attorneys at the offices of Abbate & Nohavicka LLP, Attorneys at Law want to aid you in making sure you have the answers to those questions. Call or contact us today to discuss your options.
Guardianship is needed when an individual becomes incapacitated and can no longer make decisions on their own accord regarding their property and assets. Property management includes matters such as banking, IRS compliance, living situation and residence matters, and any other asset maintenance or preservation. If a person has executed a durable power of attorney prior to being deemed incompetent, he or she may not require guardianship proceedings for purposes of property.
We can assist you in completing the appropriate documents, including a durable power of attorney and a health care directive. We also assist our clients in trust and estate planning as well as Medical planning to find solutions that will allow individuals to remain in their own homes rather than having to move to nursing homes.
Nursing Home Negligence
We also work closely with individuals and their guardians when there has been neglect or other carelessness that has resulted in personal injury. This can include failure to provide an adequate level of care, failure to diagnose and treat a medical condition, prescription or pharmaceutical errors and failure to properly monitor.
Contact the offices of Abbate & Nohavicka LLP, Attorneys at Law today. Our experienced staff will work with you to find personalized solutions to meet your elder care needs.
