Nancy L. Stone, JD, MPH, Attorney at Law Law Firm Overview

At the law firm of Nancy L. Stone, JD, MPH, Attorney at Law, we seek to help older individuals and adult children of aging parents develop effective solutions in elder law and estate planning. Whether you are planning for the foreseeable challenges of aging or are reacting to a current medical crisis, we can help you take legal action to protect your assets and obtain eligibility for governmental assistance programs like Medicaid and the Veteran's Aid and Attendance pension.

We provide in-depth assistance with Medicaid planning, working to help clients obtain and finance quality in-home or nursing home care. Our goal is to develop a plan that legally protects your assets through spend-down strategies, qualified domestic relations orders to transfer income, Miller Trusts, marital property agreements and title transfer deeds to transfer property, spousal impoverishment protections and other strategies. Our attorney will handle the entire Medicaid application process, freeing caregivers from the stress of dealing with Medicaid's complex rules and procedures; or, if a Medicaid application has been denied, our attorney can assist with appealing the denial.

Our law firm also helps clients handle the unique challenges of special needs planning for individuals with physical or mental disabilities. We draft disability planning documents, such as powers of attorney, to protect property and health care decisions should you become incapacitated. We also draft special needs trusts to guard the assets of disabled individuals that also work to preserve their eligibility for government benefits.

We also assist clients with a wide variety of estate planning options, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advanced health care directives and others. We seek to protect your investments for intended beneficiaries by finding the solution that best fits your situation and your goals.

Our law firm counsels clients on how to obtain eligibility and apply for the Veteran's Aid and Attendance pension to help pay the costs of assisted living and nursing home care. Our attorney is certified by the Veteran's Administration to provide counsel on veterans' benefits and to represent veterans in appeals of denied claims. We also counsel clients regarding Social Security and Medicare benefits, including SSD, SSI, extra help with Medicare Part D and Medicare savings programs.

At our law firm, we seek to help clients obtain government benefits and access to quality care. We use our knowledge and experience to ensure you take every legal opportunity to protect your assets.
