When you call Walsh & Elville, P.A., in Columbia, Maryland, we will work with you to find answers to your elder law questions, protect your assets and help you achieve peace of mind. Contact us for a consultation.

At Walsh & Elville, our objective is to make sure you or your loved one are properly cared for throughout life. Because the costs of long-term or nursing care can be so high, it is important to plan for such expenses. We also believe strongly in the importance of estate planning and asset protection.

Guiding you through the maze of legal issues as you age

For many older people, it is disheartening to think of losing a home and all the assets of a lifetime's worth of work because of the costs of long-term or nursing home care. Our Baltimore elder law attorneys can help you with Medicaid planning so that you can preserve assets for your children or your own needs. We can also help you apply, appeal or reapply for Social security disability benefits.

If you have not made a will or established a trust for your assets, our estate planning lawyers can help. We will also advise you about creating powers of attorney, advance directives and guardianships to handle financial and medical assistance decisions should you become unable to make those decisions.

When the time comes to select a nursing home or assisted living facility, our lawyers can help you understand what to look for when selecting a living situation. We will also help you with the paperwork required by the facility and review the contracts. We consider it our privilege to offer additional legal assistance to those who have previously relied on us as clients and to new clients alike.
