Elder law attorneys focus their practices specifically on creating comprehensive plans for seniors, disabled persons, and those concerned about asset protection. Although elder law attorneys do perform Estate Planning services, they also go beyond these basic services to address issues such as Long-Term Care planning and asset protection. Due to the many issues that you can expect to address with your elder law attorney, here are some of the documents that you should bring when you first meet with your elder law attorney:
- Your most recent bank account statements, including checking, savings, and money market accounts
- Your most recent retirement or investment account statements, including pensions, IRAs, and 401(k)s
- The most recent appraisal of your home, or other documentation of your home’s current value
- Your most recent property tax statements
- The most current account statements for any debts that you or your spouse owe, including mortgage loans, car loans, credit card accounts, and personal loans
- Detailed information about any income that you or your spouse receive, whether it is from employment, pensions, Social Security benefits, annuities, VA benefits, or another source
- Documentation of the make, model, and year of each vehicle that you or your spouse own
