J.L. Jones, Esq.

Practice Summary

An Elder Law attorney’s job is to increase the quality of life of their clients, not just figure out who-gets-what after they pass away. Asset protection lawyers are legal professionals who specialize in helping individuals and businesses protect their assets from potential creditors, lawsuits, and other risks. They can advise you on the legal strategies that are best suited to your specific situation and help you create a comprehensive asset protection plan that meets your needs. In addition to helping clients plan ahead, an Elder Law lawyer can also help those in emergency situations. If a loved one suffers from an unexpected illness or injury, it may be necessary to make quick changes to determine how to pay for care. An asset protection plan can help protect your money and make sure your family is safe financially. Lawsuits can be expensive and ruin your finances. An asset protection plan can lower the chance of that happening by keeping your assets safe from lawsuits. If you own a business, an asset protection plan can keep your business assets and personal assets separate. This way, if something happens to your business, it won’t hurt your personal finances. Lastly, an asset protection plan can help with estate planning. This means that you can choose who gets your money and how much they get after you pass away. It can also help save money on taxes. Elder Law attorneys advocate for older adults and disabled people by handling different legal matters such health care expenses; long-term healthcare planning issues; guardianship arrangements; retirement plans/benefits and Medicare/Medicaid.
