When we work with a client to build an estate plan, we take the time to get to know them and to understand their wishes for the future. We are not in the document sales business.

Contact our Wilmington office to schedule an appointment.

Elder Law

You may think your estate is in good shape because you worked with an estate planning attorney to provide a legacy for your family. While this is an important step to take, it will probably not help you if you wind up needing a nursing home. In order to make sure you are prepared to pay for a nursing home without using your life savings, you should schedule an appointment with an experienced Elder Law attorney.

If you have not planned ahead for nursing home care but suddenly find that you, your spouse, or a parent needs long-term care, our Elder Law team can still help. With our copyrighted long-term care planning trust, we can help you protect valuable property and assets from being used to pay for a nursing home. Contact Legacy Lawyers to find out how we can help you get through a crisis or plan for the future.

Asset Protection

Asset protection is a vital aspect of estate planning and elder law. Legacy Lawyers is committed to understanding each client’s unique needs and desires when it comes to their assets and property. Our custom-designed estate and elder law plans include trusts and other tools to protect these assets from nursing homes, creditors, exes, and other predators. Trusted attorney and Counsellor at Law John J. Peck gets to know each client on a personal level so that he can create a plan perfectly suited to their wishes.

Our asset protection attorneys are committed to helping clients understand all their options when it comes to protecting their assets. We offer free seminars on asset protection as well as other valuable resources to help you learn about who might come after your estate once you are gone and how we can stop them with helpful tools and smart planning.
