💰 Your financial plan shouldn’t stop at retirement.

October is National Financial Planning Month, a good time to think beyond saving enough to retire and ask another important question:

What happens if you need care?

Long-term care can become one of the biggest expenses a family faces as we age. A comprehensive plan should consider not only your retirement income and investments, but also how you might pay for assisted living, nursing home care, or help at home, and how those costs could affect a spouse or family members.

Planning ahead can give you more choices and help protect what you’ve worked hard to build.

At Kimbrough Law, we help families look at the bigger picture and plan for the legal, financial, and care-related challenges that can come with aging.

October is National Special Needs Law Month, a time to raise awareness about the legal planning and resources that can help individuals with disabilities and their families.

This year’s focus is on Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS). These services can make it possible for people with disabilities to live more independently and remain connected to their communities.

Depending on an individual’s needs, HCBS may include personal care, transportation, employment support, respite care for family caregivers, home modifications, and other important services.

But knowing what help is available — and how to access it — isn’t always simple. Understanding your options and how they fit into a larger special needs plan can help families prepare for both today and the future.

Good planning starts with knowing what resources are available. If you have questions about special needs planning or how to plan for a loved one with a disability, call Kimbrough Law at 706.850.6910. We’re here to help.

Are you a veteran? Was your spouse a veteran?

What if we told you that the VA might have some money for you?

The VA Pension Aid & Attendance benefit can pay more than $29,000 a year.

Every year.

Tax free.

Let that sink in.

Most people have no idea that this benefit even exists. It’s one of the VA’s best-kept secrets.

Millions of veterans are missing out extra money each month.

We don’t want you to be one of them.

At Kimbrough Law, we are passionate about helping veterans, surviving spouses, and their families access VA benefits.

That’s why we are hosting a free webinar at 11 am on November 11th. Elder law attorney Hailey Brock will explain everything you need to know about the VA Pension Aid & Attendance benefit, including the fact that it can be used to pay for anything, not just long-term care. Most people don’t know that.

You bought long-term care insurance for a reason: to help protect you and your family when care is needed. But what happens when it’s time to use those benefits and the insurance company resists paying the claim?😬

In this video, Life Care Coordinator Robin Lacrimosa talks about what families can do when a long-term care insurance claim is delayed, questioned, or denied, and why you don’t necessarily have to accept the insurance company’s first answer.

💚 Caregiving can take a toll on the caregiver, too.

On World Mental Health Day, October 10, we’re reminding families to check in on the person who is always checking in on everyone else.

When an older parent or loved one needs increasing help, it’s easy for one family member to gradually become the person who handles everything, includig appointments, medications, meals, finances, phone calls, emergencies and countless everyday tasks.

Over time, that responsibility can become overwhelming.

Take a moment to ask: Is one person in our family carrying too much?

Sharing responsibilities, accepting help and planning ahead can make a meaningful difference, not only for the caregiver, but for the entire family.

And caregivers: caring for yourself matters, too. 💚

If your family is struggling with the demands of caring for an aging loved one, Kimbrough Law can help you put a plan in place and connect you with resources and support. Call us at 706.850.6910 to start the conversation.

📣 Medicare Open Enrollment is coming, and 2027 brings some important changes.

If you have Medicare—or help a parent or loved one manage their coverage—this may be an especially important year to review plan options carefully.

Changes coming in 2027 include a higher Part D deductible and out-of-pocket spending cap, the end of a federal program that helped stabilize Part D premiums, and potential changes in plan costs and choices.

This blog article breaks down what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what to look for when reviewing coverage during Open Enrollment, which runs October 15–December 7.

🍂 You have an estate plan. Great! But is it still the *right* estate plan?

Life can change a lot after those documents are signed. Children grow up. Relationships change. People move. Assets come and go. And the person you chose years ago to make financial or healthcare decisions may not be the person you’d choose today.

In recognition of National Estate Planning Awareness Week, we’re sharing 7 things worth reviewing this fall, including:

📄 Your Power of Attorney
❤️ Your healthcare decision-makers
👨👩👧👦 Your beneficiaries
✍️ Your executor or trustee
🏡 Changes in your assets
🔄 Changes in your family
🗣️ Whether the people you’ve named know their roles

You don’t necessarily need to change your estate plan every year. But it’s worth asking:

“If something happened to me tomorrow, is this still the plan I would want?”

If you’re not sure, it may be time for a review.

💚 October is National Long-Term Care Planning Month.

Most families don’t want to think about long-term care until they have to. But having a few important conversations before a health crisis can make future decisions much easier.

Here are 5 questions worth discussing with your family:

1️⃣ If you needed help with everyday activities, where would you prefer to receive care?

2️⃣ Who would you trust to help make healthcare and financial decisions if you couldn’t make them yourself?

3️⃣ What resources would be available to help pay for care?

4️⃣ Are your Powers of Attorney, Georgia Advance Directive for Healthcare, and other estate planning documents current?

5️⃣ Do the people who may need to step in someday know where to find those documents—and understand your wishes?

Long-term care planning isn’t simply about choosing a nursing home or figuring out how to pay for care. It’s about putting a plan in place that considers your care, your finances, your legal documents, and the people you trust to help you.

National Long-Term Care Planning Month is a good reminder to start these conversations now while there’s time to consider your options rather than make decisions during a crisis.

📞 Have questions about planning for aging and long-term care? Kimbrough Law can help. Call 706.850.6910 to start the conversation.
