Indiana Elder Law Frequently Asked Questions
As you get older, you may have many questions about planning for the future and helping ensure your rights are protected. Here are some answers to help add some clarity regarding elder law in Indiana.
Why do you need an elder law attorney?
From long-term health care planning to wills and trusts, an elder law lawyer helps ensure your wishes are properly documented and your best interests are protected as you get older. They can advise you on long-term care planning, wills, trusts, guardianship proceedings, retirement planning, asset protection and more.
There are so many different types of long-term health care, how do I even know what to plan for?
The type of long-term care you may need depends on your health situation as you age. Luckily, you can evaluate your circumstances and opt for options like:
- In-home care
- Assisted living facilities
- Nursing homes
- Memory care units
These can then help put a plan in place to help ensure your future care needs are provided for.
What is the difference between guardianship and power of attorney?
A power of attorney is a legal document where you appoint someone you trust to handle your financial affairs if you become incapacitated. Guardianship is a court-ordered process where someone takes legal responsibility for your care if you can’t make decisions for yourself. A power of attorney helps you avoid a guardianship proceeding.
How can I determine if I am eligible for Medicaid?
The main factors determining eligibility for Medicaid in Indiana are your household income level and assets compared to the program limits. For income, you must have an annual household income before taxes that is below the maximum allowed for your household size.
