Knowledgeable, Skilled Alabama Lawyer Offering a Broad Range of Services

I offer comprehensive service and representation to clients who need help with:

Estate and Gift Tax Planning

As an experienced Scottsboro estate planning attorney, I will work closely with you to help you identify and implement the best strategy for the orderly distribution of your assets upon death, taking care to carefully review the tax consequences of each approach. I will prepare all the required documents to complete your estate planning goals, including wills, trusts, powers of attorney and advance health care directives.

Probate and Estate Administration

I work with administrators, executors and personal representatives, as well as heirs, to settle the estate of a loved one. I will prepare the accounting of assets, obtain asset valuations (where necessary), notify creditors, ensure payment of final debts and taxes, and oversee the orderly distribution of property.

Medicaid Planning

I will help you take steps to protect your assets from being used to pay for nursing home or long-term care, whether through the purchase of long-term care insurance, the creation of a trust or the lifetime gifting of property. I will help you with the Medicaid application process and any appeals as well.

Social Security Disability

If you are unable to work due to illness or injury, I am a Gadsden SSDI lawyer who can help you determine whether you are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits. If so, I can handle the entire process for you, from the application through any appeals.

Veterans Benefits

If you are a veteran or the surviving spouse of a veteran and need costly nursing home care or in-home care, I can assist you in obtaining "Aid and Assistance" benefits to help offset those costs. I will work with you to ensure that you remain eligible for both Medicaid and veterans benefits whenever possible
