Elder Law Overview

Senior Care and Elder Law in Texas

For the advice of an experienced and sophisticated estate planning attorney in Houston, contact McCulloch & Associates. For the last ten years, our practice has emphasized elder advocacy and planning services for seniors with an emphasis on elder-centric strategies to protect their quality of life and independence to the greatest possible extent.

Our main objective is to prepare for your family, a legally sound, logistically practical, and affordable life care plan for an aging parent or loved one whose ability to live independently has been compromised through declining health or the aging process. The attorneys with input from staff elder care coordinators can work with you to help identify and access the appropriate range of services that are right for your family. We believe that we can help you identify and advocate for quality elder care for your parent or loved one and help you avoid the maze of conflicting advice you might receive from sources with a vested interest or narrower perspective. We can also help you get the most out of your parent's eligibility for community-based programs, private insurance, Medicaid, or other government benefits.

At the same time, we can advise your family about the importance of integrating life care planning services into a comprehensive estate plan. These considerations can include any of the following:

• Medicaid planning
• Estate tax planning
• Probate and estate administration
• Probate and trust litigation
• Resolving IRS and tax problems

Our lawyers are also happy to advise your family about the benefits of estate planning at midlife, before the needs are urgent and your options are more flexible than they will ever be.
