Our Elder Law Services

Jenkintown, Pennsylvania Elder Law Attorney Gerry Woods

The Elder Care Law Center was founded because of a need to help seniors address the various issues they faced as they aged.

Attorney Gerry Woods discovered through his estate planning practice that many clients returned to him when their parents required Medicaid planning or were exhibiting early signs of dementia.

He saw a need and established the Elder Care Law Center to meet that need. We look forward to helping you and your family with any issue related to aging. We help clients in Philadelphia, Eastern Montgomery County, Lower Bucks County, and Delaware County from our office in Jenkintown, northwest of Philadelphia.

• Medicaid Planning
  Our firm is dedicated to helping people conserve their assets and prepare for the high cost of nursing home care. This includes planning and implementing the most effective way to keep the maximum amount of assets allowable under the law, preparing the Medicaid application and handling appeals.
• Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts
  Our estate planning services are designed to ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and with the minimum amount of tax payable. Our estate planning documents include wills, trusts, powers of attorney and living wills.
• Advance Directives
  Also known as a living will, the advanced health care directive indicates a person's wishes regarding a situation of permanent unconsciousness or a terminal condition and the desired measures to sustain life.
• Guardianships
  A guardianship is typically sought when an elderly person or other incapacitated individual cannot manage his or her finances and personal affairs. If you are concerned about a parent who suffers from dementia or Alzheimer's or a young adult with special needs, appointing a guardian may be advisable and beneficial. Our firm also represents people who are contesting guardianships.
• Estate Administration/Probate
  Our firm handles estate and probate administration matters that are resolved both in and outside Orphan's Court. We represent executors, administrators and trustees. Attorney Gerry Woods has an LL.M. in tax, providing him with advanced knowledge of the tax issues that can affect trust and estate administration.
