Elder Law Attorneys

Navigate the future with a team that works harder to know you better, so we can serve you best.

The purpose of Elder Law Planning is to prepare an older individual for financial freedom and autonomy. As people live longer, elder law has become an important area of focus for legal assistance. Long-term housing and care are critical components of estate planning for senior citizens.

At Mika Meyers, our Michigan elder law experts provide legal assistance with Medicaid eligibility planning, estate planning, trusts, guardianships, and conservatorships. Our experienced attorneys can help clients navigate the complex government benefit system, and advise on advanced planning to ensure timely qualification for programs. We understand the importance of comprehensive planning to protect the rights and well-being of our elderly clients.

When an individual is in long-term care, paying over $11,000 a month, it can be daunting. We work with our clients to secure Medicaid funding for long-term care without having the family spend down all of the nursing home resident’s assets. This is achieved using different techniques that shift whether assets are countable or non-countable.

Contact Mika Meyers for any questions you have about elder law in Michigan. You can call our Grand Rapids headquarters at (616) 632-8000 or fill out our contact form and our team will get back to you.
