Back Comprehensive Healthcare Surrogate Estate Planning Services We know how important it is to have a health care surrogate in place before the time comes when one is needed. WHAT IS A HEALTH CARE SURROGATE? A health care surrogate is a third party who has been named in advance to make medical decisions on your behalf if you are unable to make those decisions yourself. The term can also be used interchangeably with “health care advanced directives,” “advanced health care directives,” or “health care power of attorney.” When appointing a health care surrogate, it’s very important to choose someone who is attentive, trustworthy, familiar with your medical wishes in various health-related scenarios, and capable of making difficult medical decisions. WHY DO I NEED A HEALTH CARE SURROGATE? Emotions run high during times of medical emergency. Families often have strong feelings about what should happen to their loved ones. If you were to suddenly fall ill, a legal document naming your health care surrogate could help eliminate any confusion about who is responsible for making decisions about your medical care. This will spare your family members from arguing (and in some cases even going to court) over who should be tasked with making difficult decisions regarding your well-being. The written document appointing a health care surrogate is especially important when you have internal family conflict or if you are bypassing family members to appoint a non-family member or companion to serve as your health care surrogate. You may want someone to have access to your medical information immediately, even if you are fully able to make your own decisions. In this way, your surrogate can be fully informed of your medical condition if, at some point in time, the doctors determine that you are unable to make your own decisions for medical care. A properly drafted health care surrogate can add that provision. The final decision on care always remains with you unless the doctor states that you cannot make a decision. We can help you with your advanced health care directive, ensuring that your wishes will be honored in any eventuality.

Back PROTECTED MARKETING AREAS One of the key business issues in any franchise arrangement is how much protection should be given to a particular market. It needs to balance protecting reasonable marketing areas for locals with giving enough room so that franchisers can maximize their penetration, over time. What happens to the Protected Marketing Area upon renewal should be addressed. When discussing the differences between a “territory” and market, it is important for franchisees to be aware that they may get trapped by their unfamiliarity with business terminology. We will help you analyze the important aspects of your franchise agreement and see that it is fair, protective for both franchiser as well as franchisees.

Back MEDICAID PLANNING Long-term care can be financially devastating and deplete your life savings. We can help you create a plan that will allow you to stay in control of your life and protect your assets for the people you love. HOW WE CAN HELP YOU: Assist in obtaining government benefits to pay for skilled nursing and in-home care Protect your assets for yourself and your family Navigate through the maze of rules and regulations There are many misconceptions about Medicaid qualification and the “spend down” process. With proper planning, you don’t have to lose everything to a nursing home if you, your spouse, or your parent is in need of long-term care. At Buschkin Law Firm, we understand the difficulties our clients and their families are faced with at the time of a crisis, as well as the level of stress associated with it. Our narrow focus on Elder Law and Estate Planning allows us to develop a solution that alleviates the burden on a client and his or her family. By combining Estate Planning with end-of-life advocacy, our goal is to protect the elderly and disabled, the most vulnerable groups among us. Upon getting to know you and your family, your health care needs, your values, and your preferences, we will work together on developing an estate plan that is right for you and your loved ones. As such, we assist senior citizens and their families on matters related to Medicaid and VA qualifications, guardianships, special needs, and disability planning, and more. When a crisis happens, you need an experienced attorney who you can trust to help you navigate through the convoluted world of wills, trusts and estates, and related government regulations. We will be by your side to plan for the future and protect what is truly important to you. COMMON QUESTIONS WHAT IS MEDICAID PLANNING? Most people know Medicaid as the government medical assistance program for people under a certain income level. Where Medicare pays for doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions, it does not cover long-term nursing homes or in-home care for the elderly. Medicaid is a valuable tool that can be used to pay for a nursing home or in-home care if the person’s countable assets are below a certain amount. DO I NEED TO PLAN FOR MEDICAID NOW? Unfortunately, 2 out of 3 senior citizens will need long-term care at some point. Although no one wants to believe that they will need nursing home care, the reality is that many of us will. If you or a loved one is a senior citizen, it is important to visit an estate planning or elder law attorney who can help walk you through the estate planning process. Because Medicaid considers gifts and other transfers you make (including those made to trusts) within five years of the date you apply for Medicaid, it is important to begin Medicaid planning early, before you and your spouse are actually in need of long-term care.
