WELCOME
RICHARD H. AGNEW, JR. Attorney at Law Protecting you and your family through Estate and Medicaid Planning |
Each year, thousands of Americans become physically or mentally incapacitated, and find themselves and their assets under the control of the courts in a process called Guardianship. Sometimes, the worst that can happen is not death - it is disability. Each year, thousands of American families watch as the hard-earned assets of someone they love are consumed by Nursing Home costs, Death Probate fees, and Death Taxes. In Death Probate, 5% to 10% of an estate is lost to court costs and to attorney and executor fees. And the same is true with Death Taxes, which can in some cases swallow up an additional 37% to 50% of a loved one’s estate. And even before that, the costs of Long Term Care can sap the wealth of our hard earned estate to the tune of $60,000 to $70,000 a year - not to mention the skyrocketing costs of doctors and prescriptions.
The answer to these questions is, "Yes, there is a way."
