Serving Northeast Ohio

Learn more about the elder law services we provide below and contact us to set up a consultation.

Estate Planning

Our estate planning attorney will help you determine the best option for you or your loved one based on current assets and how you’d like them to be distributed after death. We will help you prepare all your estate planning documents, including trusts, living wills, powers of attorney, and more, to ensure your family doesn’t have to endure a tedious and stressful probate process. 

Estate Administration

Once an estate plan is in place, our estate administration attorney can help with administration upon execution of the estate. This can be a difficult time for anyone, and we are there to guide administrators, executors, and trustees as they navigate the estate and trust administration process. We will be by your side to help you prepare accounts, manage the transfer of assets, disburse funds to beneficiaries, represent you in probate litigation, and more.

Probate Support & Litigation

In the event that a deceased loved one does not have an estate in place or it is being disputed, our probate attorney will represent you in probate litigation to ensure your best interests. Even if a will or trust is in place, disputes among family members or beneficiaries can easily arise, so it can be helpful to have a knowledgeable attorney by your side throughout the estate administration and possible probate litigation process. We can also help if you are currently handling the execution of a will or trust and need support or have been accused of mishandling. We are experienced in a wide range of probate litigation, including will/trust disputes, administrator appointments, taxation challenges, and more.

Long Term Care

We recommend all individuals and families develop a long-term care plan to take the stress out of the later stages of life so you can truly enjoy them. No one wants to spend their later years worrying about how they will support themselves or their loved ones in the case of a sudden disability or natural aging. We can help you financially plan for assisted living or nursing home expenses, as well as protect your current assets, such as your home and investments. Our creative planning solutions will provide you and your loved ones with peace of mind, regardless of what happens during the final phases of your life.

Medicaid Planning

In addition to long-term care planning, we recommend individuals apply for and utilize Medicaid benefits if necessary. We can assist with the entire Medicaid process, from initial eligibility assessments to submitting your application and supporting you in maintaining Medicaid eligibility. Medicaid is a government program that helps cover medical costs for people with limited income and covers services beyond Medicare, including nursing homes and assisted living services. While qualifying for assistance and completing the application process can be challenging, Moseman Law Office has worked through each of these steps with our clients and will ensure we have identified the best long-term care options for you and your financial well-being.

Disability Planning

If you or a loved one is living with a disability, our attorney can help you plan for a secure future with our special needs and disability planning services. We can help you establish special needs trusts or other solutions that ensure the individual and their family are protected for the future, both personally and financially.

Guardianship

Our elder law attorney also provides support with guardianship. Guardianship is used when a minor or individual is not able to manage their personal or financial affairs. If determined by a court, another individual can be appointed as their guardian to help them take care of themselves and their property.

Moseman Law Office is located in Mentor, Ohio and serves in all northeast Ohio counties including Ashtabula County, Geauga County, and Lake County. Contact Moseman Law Office to learn more about the guardianship process and when it should be used.
