The number one question most people have is, “Do I need to do some Elder Law / Estate Planning?” In short, the answer is probably yes. Without a plan in place you have no control over where your assets will go, and who will be in charge of handling your affairs if and when you are unable to do so for yourself. Moreover, if you do not have a plan in place and become incapacitated due to illness or injury, a probate guardianship may need to be initiated so the Court can appoint a guardian to handle your affairs. The process can be very intrusive, often embarrassing, costly, and requires multiple Court appearances. With the proper plan in place, this can all be avoided
