Elder law is a specialized field that addresses the full spectrum of legal and financial challenges that come with aging — including Medicaid planning, long-term care, conservatorships, and Veterans benefits. While estate planning focuses on what happens after death, elder law is primarily about protecting your quality of life and assets while you're still living.
The earlier, the better. Proactive Medicaid planning gives families the most options for preserving assets and securing quality care. However, even if you're already in a care crisis, a Medicaid planning attorney can often still help — don't assume it's too late without speaking to us first.
TennCare is Tennessee's Medicaid program, providing healthcare coverage and long-term care benefits to qualifying seniors. Eligibility depends on income, assets, and medical need. Our team can walk you through the requirements and help you apply — and our free TennCare Guide is a great starting point.
It depends on your assets, family situation, and goals. A will is the foundation of most estate plans. A revocable trust can add privacy, flexibility, and a smoother transition for your beneficiaries. Our attorneys will help you understand which approach — or combination — is right for your specific circumstances.
A conservatorship is a court-supervised arrangement that grants legal authority to a trusted person to make decisions for a loved one who is no longer able to manage their own affairs due to disability or cognitive decline. It's a serious step, and we help families understand all available options before pursuing it.
Yes. Many Tennessee veterans and surviving spouses are unaware of the state and federal benefits available to them. Our team identifies which programs apply and helps families access every benefit they've earned.
A care coordinator serves as your family's advocate and guide within the healthcare system — helping you choose the right care facility, manage transitions, fill gaps in care, and ensure your loved one's quality of life remains the priority. They work alongside our legal team for a truly integrated approach.
The first step is a brief discovery call. We'll learn about your situation, answer your initial questions, and determine how we can best help. Call us at (615) 852-5602 or fill out the contact form below to get started.
