Archer Law Office remains the State’s premier elder law crisis management firm, and we stand ready, willing, and able to assist with your elder law and estate planning concerns at any time.
Archer Law Office has five New Jersey offices that focus exclusively on the legal needs of seniors, those with disabilities, veterans, and their caregivers.
What we do
Medicaid Planning and Applications
Medicaid is designed to ease the burden of paying for long-term care, but it can be very complicated to navigate the system and care is enormously costly if you do not succeed. The State has implemented regulations to govern eligibility for these programs but their interpretation often varies by county and even by caseworker.
Archer Law Office has experience filing hundreds of applications annually in many New Jersey counties, so we often know what the caseworker is going to ask for even before they do. We can spot and anticipate issues before we file an application, giving clients clarity and helping applications proceed more smoothly.
Care and Crisis Management
What sets Archer Law Office apart from any other elder law firm in the region is its commitment not only to legal documents and complex planning when appropriate, but also to the practical and people-centered needs of its caregiver clients. The firm’s innovative Senior Living Resources staff guides families to find the best senior housing options for loved ones’ individual circumstances and challenges. They are also called upon to defuse high-conflict situations where caregivers and concerned family are unable to address issues themselves. With the firm’s multidisciplinary approach, families work together toward a solution that benefits their loved ones, saves the stress and expense of litigation, and avoids the unnecessarily inflexible model of some social workers.
Our Services
The staff of Archer Law Office provides a full range of services and supports to caregivers through central and southern New Jersey.
New Jersey is a notoriously tough state in which to do Medicaid planning; however, there are a number of ways that aggressive planning can yield enormous savings for a family. The key is to start early.
A guardianship proceeding protects vulnerable adults and their caregivers. Families whose loved ones have special needs require specific guidance and legal planning to preserve assets and receive government benefits.
Any person over 18 should consider having a Will, a Durable General Power of Attorney, and a Healthcare Proxy (or similar medical document). The documents can eliminate stressful legal emergencies in the future.
Probate or estate administration in New Jersey grant authority to act on behalf of a deceased person. The process can be easy or very difficult, but it can be hard to tell which without expert guidance.
Veterans with low income and high medical expenses may be entitled to over $2,000 of monthly tax-free cash payments from the VA through the Aid and Attendance program. The program has specific eligibility requirements.
When it is necessary to protect a client’s rights, Archer Law Office attorney and paralegal staff are aggressive and thorough in advocating for what is in the interest of a family and its caregivers.
