Holistic Guidance From Experienced Elder Law Attorneys

At the Law Office of Amy B. Van Fossen, P.A., in Melbourne, Florida, we understand how deeply personal elder law planning matters are for our clients. Our law firm is devoted to welcoming clients into a comfortable environment to discuss elder care planning concerns.

Our goal is to help seniors remain independent for as long as possible, while meticulously protecting assets and creating a long-term plan to maintain a rich quality of life and obtain the best care that our clients are entitled to receive throughout their senior years.

We have substantial experience in both advance planning and crisis planning situations. We are also VA-accredited and passionate about helping veterans and their spouses obtain VA benefits.

How We Can Help

We are fully prepared to analyze your unique finances and personal situation to guide you through all manner of elder care planning matters, including:

  • Asset protection: Many people are concerned about protecting assets for the long-term protection of spouses and family members. We fully analyze family dynamics, finances and the individual health care needs of clients to provide strategic guidance to preserve family resources.
  • Long-term care planning: Medicaid is not always the best answer for seniors to provide for long-term care needs. We view long-term care matters from a global perspective to help families understand all of their options.
  • Caregiver agreements: Drafting a valid personal care agreement is critical in the realm of VA planning, as well as in the context of Medicaid benefits planning. We have detailed knowledge of the law, the differences and similarities of Medicaid and VA Aid, and assistance programs to ensure that your interests are protected.

We can assist you with advance planning to give you peace of mind that your long-term care needs are properly addressed. Our goal is to help you maximize your resources to help you obtain the best care possible.
