Elder Law

RMP advises clients dealing with issues involving the long-term care of spouses and loved ones. This representation includes advising individuals in both Medicaid crisis planning and preplanning for the potential need of long-term care. The individuals at RMP involved in the elder law section include a former supervisor with the Arkansas Department of Human Services long-term care unit, as well as a former nursing home administrator.  The experience of the Elder Law team allows for both legal and practical guidance for families needing long-term care assistance.  Areas of representation include the following:

• Advising on proper structure of assets when faced with long-term care;
• Guardianship-including temporary (emergency) guardianship and permanent guardianship proceedings;
• Establishment and proper use of Miller Trust;
• Pre-planning for potential long-term care (scenarios where long-term care may be required within a matter of years);
• Medicaid Crisis planning for long-term care (scenarios involving immediate necessity to transition to skilled nursing care)
