Life care planning is a comprehensive approach to ensuring the well-being and quality of life for individuals and their families as they age. With the complexities and uncertainties of the future, having a well-thought-out life care plan provides the peace of mind and support needed to navigate the challenges that come with aging or managing chronic illnesses.
Through a combination of legal, financial, and care coordination strategies, life care planning aims to address the unique needs and goals of each individual. It involves collaborating with experienced elder law attorneys, financial advisors, and healthcare professionals to create a customized roadmap that encompasses legal documents, asset protection, and healthcare decision-making.
Life care planning goes beyond traditional estate planning by considering the potential long-term care needs and tailoring strategies accordingly. This proactive approach allows individuals and families to anticipate and prepare for the future, minimizing financial burdens and safeguarding assets for future generations.

Did You Know?
Did you know that October 15th - 21st is National Estate Planning Awareness Week? National Estate Planning Awareness Week was adopted in 2008 to help the public understand what estate planning is and why it is such a vital component of financial wellness. It is estimated that 70% of Americans do not have an estate plan in place and that most overlook estate planning when doing personal financial management. Estate Planning can give you peace of mind by helping to protect you, your loved ones, and your assets. Many people think that estate planning is mainly for the older community or that it’s too complicated or expensive. Here at Khaled Elder Law we have experienced staff who will help guide you through the estate planning process and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Give us a call today!
Asset Protection Trusts: Getting a Better Understanding
“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.” Alan Lakein, American author and Time Management Expert. We plan to go on vacation. We plan to have dinner with friends. But when it comes to planning for how we will be taken care of as we advance in age, many of us prefer not to think about it, believing it will somehow all work out. Unfortunately, when it comes to long term care planning, including finding the appropriate care and figuring out how to pay for it, those who fail to plan are clearly the ones who risk losing the most.

VA Benefits subject to a "look back" penalty period
EVER THOUGHT ABOUT APPLYING FOR VA BENEFITS??
On September 18, the Veterans Administration (VA) published new rules that make it more difficult to qualify for this important benefit. For example, any gifts that you made in the past 36 months, either to a family member or to an irrevocable trust, would be penalized. Likewise, an investment in an annuity would also be penalized. This means you could be prohibited from qualifying for VA pension benefits for up to 5 years, depending on the amount of the gift.
