About Our Practice
Frank, Frank & Scherr, LLC focuses its practice on aging and elderly persons planning for the future, assisting families planning for the long term care of other family members who are mentally or physically disabled, and estate planning. The provision of legal services to elderly individuals and estate planning often involves spouses, children, siblings, and other relatives assisting the individual. While the family members may participate in gathering information and facilitating communication, the client makes the decisions, to the extent he or she is capable of doing so.
The sudden onset of disability as a result of a stroke or
disabling accident or the harsh reality of a mind robbing illness such as
Alzheimers disease often highlights the consequences of a failure to plan. Some
of the first issues to arise concern medical decision making and finances: who
will make the health care decisions, what health care decisions can they make,
who has the authority to make financial decisions, if no one does, how does
someone get access to the assets to pay the bills. The following three areas
must be addressed for effective long term care planning: asset management, health
care decision making and paying for care.
