Navigating the nuances of state and federal laws is a serious undertaking. With estate, probate, and elder law, the task becomes personal and, at times, highly emotional. At Barron, Rosenberg, Mayoras & Mayoras, we understand how difficult it may be to confront your own mortality, resolve legal issues in the midst of grief, and make critical decisions on behalf of an incapacitated loved one. As such, we provide compassionate support in addition to skilled legal counsel and representation.

Our Estate Planning Services

Estate planning is a broad term for arranging asset distribution, long-term care, and business management in the event that you become incapacitated or pass away.

These legal devices include:

• Wills
• Trusts
• Healthcare durable power of attorney
• Conservatorships/guardianships
• Nursing home planning
• Medicaid planning
• Veterans planning

We can also assist with estate and trust administration. This may occur while the owner of the estate is still alive, or we may serve the administrator after the estate owner passes away. No matter the case, our goal is to carry out every detail of the owner’s wishes.

Elder Law and Special Needs Planning

If your loved one is a senior citizen or has special needs, you will need to go to greater lengths to ensure their long-term care. One of the biggest hurdles our clients face is preserving their loved ones’ access to benefits, which the government often restricts if the recipients are the beneficiaries of an estate. We can help you establish certain types of trusts and develop long-term care plans that support caregivers and protect your loved ones’ rights.

Probate Administration, Dispute Resolution, and Litigation

When a person passes away, their estate will likely go through probate. If their wills and trusts are valid and uncontested, this process is relatively easy. Nevertheless, we are here to preserve your best interests and help you understand every aspect of probate law. If heirs or beneficiaries contest the documents, accuse the administrator or executor of breaching their contract, or file ownership claims, we can help you negotiate these disputes without compromising your rights or the decedent’s final wishes.

Unfortunately, an out-of-court resolution is not always attainable. If litigation is a must, we will not hesitate to advocate for your best interests during a hearing or trial. Our goal is to handle the legal challenges of this process so you can focus on your present and future wellbeing.
