The term Elder Law refers to the client to be served, rather than the area of practice.  The senior client has unique financial, physical and emotional concerns that demand the highest level of service and lasting solutions. Elder law attorneys focus on the legal needs of seniors and work with a variety of legal tools and techniques to meet the specific goals and objectives of the senior client.

The Law Office of Stephanie Konarski understands that seniors and their families have unique concerns that require personalized solutions.  We can help you and your family face a complex set of legal issues and develop a comprehensive plan tailored to meet your needs and concerns in such areas as:

• General estate planning issues, including wills and trusts.
• Planning for Incapacity, including durable powers of attorney and health care proxies. 
• Planning for possible long-term care needs, including nursing home care.
• Planning for disability, including special needs trusts.
• Protecting or preserving assets.
• Planning for Medicaid and Medicare, including divestment and spending down assets.
• Applying for Medicaid and other public benefit programs.
• Applying for Social Security and disability programs.
• Home care and nursing home issues.
