Retirement is a good time to think about and update your estate planning.

My wonderful law partner, Kelley Napier, has once again been (rightfully) recognized by her peers as a Super Lawyers Rising Star for 2021 for the practice area of Elder Law.

https://www.georgia-elderlaw.com/ Do you know anyone who should be talking to a Elder Law Attorney? Do your loved ones have their affairs in order? Do you know... who to contact if something happens to a loved one? I can highly recommend Brannon Napier Elder Law firm. They have helped many of my clients and friends. Here are just some of the things that an Elder Law Attorney can help you with: Elder law attorneys understand issues specific to seniors and have extensive knowledge across a number of senior-related areas. According to the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, some of these issues include: Preservation/transfer of assets to avoid spousal impoverishment when spouse enters a senior nursing home Medicaid planning Medicare claims and appeals Social security and disability claims and appeals Disability planning, including use of durable power of attorney, living trusts, and "living wills," for financial management and healthcare decisions, and other means of delegating management and decision-making to another in case of incompetency or incapacity Conservatorships and guardianships Estate planning, including planning for the management of one's estate during life and its disposition on death through use of trusts, wills and other planning documents Probate Administration and management of trusts and estates Long-term care placements in senior nursing homes and life care communities Nursing home issues including patient's rights and nursing home quality Elder abuse and fraud recovery cases Retirement, including public and private retirement benefits, survivor benefits and pension benefits Health law Mental health law

We hope the holidays bring you the kind of joy Kelley's kids had making and eating their gingerbread house.
