Elder Law
Estate Planning
Your estate plan should be a dynamic set of documents that changes as life
happens. Your goals may change or your trusted people may change, and your documents should change to reflect your changing wishes.
Long-term Care Planning
Planning how to pay for your long term
care is overwhelming. Medical Assistance rules are complex and missteps can lead to costly headaches at a time when you are already under tremendous stress. We help you put together a comprehensive plan regarding how to pay for care when you
need it.
Essential Documents
Healthcare Directives and Powers of
Attorney are essential documents that you should have in place. These documents name agents to help you if you need help with making decisions or paying bills.
Asset Protection and Gifting
Whether you want to ensure the family
cabin stays in the family or you want to
leave a legacy, our attorneys can help you proactively plan your gifts so that you have peace of mind.
Elder Law Attorneys & Legal Services
At Henningson & Snoxell, we believe everyone deserves dignity. Based in Maple Grove, Minnesota, our elder law practice is devoted to protecting the rights and benefits of senior citizens and disabled individuals. Our elder law attorneys are experienced in, and compassionate about, educating and guiding clients and their families in these matters.
It is no secret that the American population is aging. With improvements in health care, nutrition, and medicine, reaching 100 years of age is becoming more and more commonplace. While the average life expectancy is dramatically rising, a longer life does not always guarantee a better life. Older people and people with disabilities often face health problems, exclusion, discrimination, and poverty.
Social Security, Medicare, Medical Assistance (or Medicaid), senior housing options, elder care, employment concerns, and major life transitions can be a challenge for anyone to navigate.
We work closely with elderly and disabled clients and their families to plan for the future and deal with challenging situations through:
- Wills and codicils
- Revocable Living Trusts and trust amendments
- Powers of Attorney (for finance)
- Health Care Directives (Living Wills)
- Irrevocable Trusts, including Special Needs Trusts and Supplemental Needs Trusts
- Funeral Directives
- Guardianships/Conservatorships
- Contested guardianships/conservatorships
- Incapacity planning
- Trust administrations for incapacitated individuals
- Care Agreements
- Long-term care planning
- Real estate transfer documents
- Beneficiary designations and retirement benefits planning
- Gifting strategies
- Medical Assistance (Medicaid) planning (nursing home planning)
- Medical Assistance applications
- Elder law advice
- Concierge elder law services
- Benefits for Veterans
- Fiduciary advice
- Asset protection planning
