Protecting your health, finances, and dignity as you age

Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping an aging parent, navigating the financial, medical, and legal challenges of growing older can be overwhelming. At Wellborn Law Firm, we help families put a plan in place that preserves dignity, protects assets, and ensures long-term care needs are met with confidence.

With people living longer than ever before, most of us will need some form of long-term care whether at home or in a nursing facility. Unfortunately, this care is costly. In Georgia and across the country, long-term care can range from $4,000 to over $12,000 per month. And Medicare and most private insurance don’t cover it.

Without a plan, many families spend down their savings quickly, sometimes losing a lifetime of hard-earned assets within just a year or two.

At Wellborn Law Firm we works closely with families to create clear and customized plans that can:

• Protect your assets while preparing for future care needs
   
• Help you qualify for Medicaid without spending everything you own
   
• Cover in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home expenses
   
• Ensure you receive the highest quality care in the setting you choose
   
• Offer peace of mind to you and your loved ones
   

Using tools like irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced healthcare directives, we help make sure your wishes are honored and your estate stays intact even in the face of costly medical needs.

Long-term care planning is just one piece of elder law. We also help with:

• Creating and reviewing powers of attorney, wills, and living trusts
   
• Advanced healthcare planning and directives
   
• Adult guardianship and probate issues
   
• Ensuring your documents contain the right legal language to avoid unnecessary roadblocks in the future
   

At Wellborn Law Firm, we understand how important these decisions are. You deserve a plan that protects not just your money but your values, your independence, and your peace of mind.
