Planning for your care or the care of a loved one can be daunting. Between
complicated Medicaid and estate planning laws and the spread of misinformation,
it's hard to find the simple truth of which benefits you're entitled
to receive, without compromising your hard earned assets or burdening
your family.

Medicaid (Arizona Long Term Care System) laws have become increasingly complex. If properly utilized, Medicaid can help
to defray your health care costs and make quality health care more accessible,
however, it can be very difficult to navigate. The elder law and estate

Guardianship
It's not a topic many people enjoy thinking or talking about, however,
in the event you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions independently,
choosing a guardian, or a power of attorney, is one of the most important
decisions you can make. If you become unable to make independent and informed
decisions, without a guardian in place, you are left vulnerable and susceptible
to fraud, theft, and deceit or others making choices regarding your care
which are not in line with your wishes.
Incapacitation can happen unexpectedly, which is why it's so important
to choose your guardian in lieu of a court appoints one for you. Thies
