Sarah’s Law Firm specializes in Estate Planning and Elder Law. In other words, they help people figure out if they need a Will or a Trust, they draft Powers of Attorney and other estate planning documents, and help families navigate the path when looking at long term care. They help families figure out whether it is time to move to assisted living or look for home care options, how to pay for care, and how to apply for Medicaid Assistance to pay for long term care. Sarah’s Law Firm is not your ordinary law firm; they are relaxed, down to earth, and fanatical about customer service. They make it a point to make the complex simple. The team takes pride in educating clients, making sure every document and decision is understood.

Together twenty years. Never married. In the eyes of the law, still strangers. 💙

It catches people off guard, but without legal documents in place, an unmarried partner generally has no automatic right to make medical decisions for you.

Or to access your accounts and manage your finances.
Or to inherit your home or property.

In some situations, they may not even be notified in an emergency.

Everything a marriage grants automatically has to be built on purpose here. That means wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations.

We see this most often with couples later in life who've made a deliberate choice not to remarry.

📲 Building a life together without a marriage certificate? We can help.

Medicare Open Enrollment opens today. 📅

From now through December 7, you can switch plans, change your drug coverage, move between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage, or simply confirm what you have still works.

Here's the part that costs people money: plans change quietly. Your prescriptions can move to a different tier. Your doctor can leave the network. Your premium can shift.

If you do nothing, you're auto-renewed into next year's version of your plan, whatever that looks like now.

👉 Take twenty minutes and review it. Questions about how Medicare fits into your bigger plan? Message us.

"Long-term care" isn't one thing. It's a spectrum. 🏠

🏡 In-home care: a caregiver comes to you. Best for people who need some help but not constant supervision.

🏢 Assisted living: your own apartment, with meals, activities, and staff available. Good middle ground.

🏥 Skilled nursing: 24-hour medical care for people who need it.

🧠 Memory care: specialized, secured settings for dementia and Alzheimer's.

The costs, the payment sources, and the planning strategies are different for each one.

Reverse mortgages get a lot of noise around them. Here's the plain version. 🏡

If you're 62 or older with significant home equity, a reverse mortgage lets you convert some of that equity into cash without a monthly mortgage payment.

The catch: interest and fees build over time, the balance grows, and the loan comes due when you move out, sell, or pass away. That can significantly reduce what's left for your heirs.

They're not automatically good or bad. They're a tool with real trade-offs, and they interact with Medicaid eligibility in ways people don't expect.

When someone passes away, the first few days are a blur. Here's what actually needs to happen early: 📝

- Request multiple certified copies of the death certificate (you'll need more than you think)
- Locate the will, trust, and any funeral instructions
- Notify Social Security, pensions, and insurance companies
- Secure the home, vehicles, and any valuables
- Don't rush to distribute anything or close accounts

That last one matters. Well-meaning families often move assets before the legal process starts, and it creates problems later.

Executor. Trustee. Power of attorney. Healthcare agent. 📋 Four different roles. People mix them up constantly.

Your executor handles your estate after you pass away: filing the will, paying debts, distributing what's left.

Your trustee manages your trust, which can start while you're alive and continue long after you're gone.

Your financial power of attorney acts for you while you're living, if you can't act for yourself. That authority ends at death.

Your healthcare agent makes medical decisions, and only medical decisions.

They can all be the same person. Often, they shouldn't be.
