Georgia Probate, Estate Planning, and Elder Law Attorneys
Planning for a future illness or even death is a difficult subject for anyone. Careful end-of-life planning, however, can provide a critical system of protection for you and your family. At The Shriver Law Firm, in Northwest Atlanta, we represent people in estate planning, Medicaid planning, probate, and elder law matters. If you need to speak with an experienced lawyer about end-of-life and healthcare planning services, call Rudolph (Rudy) T.Gordon at our Woodstock, Georgia office at (770) 926-7326.
We provide a wide range of estate planning, probate, elder law, and Medicaid planning services to the people of Cherokee County, Cobb County, and Northwest Atlanta. These services include:
- Estate Planning: When you meet with Rudolph (Rudy) T. Gordon at your initial consultation, he will take the time to listen to you and assist with your estate planning needs. The goals of estate planning include the minimization of estate taxes and the effective transfer of your assets to your family, friends, and loved ones. Some of the estate planning documents we use at our office are wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, living wills, powers of attorney, and HIPAA forms.
- Probate: The firm has significant experience in probate and estate administration services. If you need an attorney to assist in the probate of an estate, contact The Shriver Law Firm.
- Guardianships: Some of the elder law matters The Shriver Law Firm handles include guardianships, living wills, and Medicaid planning. Guardianships are a legal mechanism used by courts to protect people who are unable to care for themselves due to mental or physical challenges. As people grow older, medical issues such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and other physical challenges may make it difficult for them to handle their financial and medical affairs. When this occurs, an adult child or other interested person may petition a court to appoint them as a guardian.
- Medicaid Planning: Medicaid planning may increase your chances to receive Medicaid benefits and asset protection in the event you obtain Medicaid benefits.
