The personal touch your most important decisions deserve. Call us today.
We work with seniors and their adult children to analyze their long-term care needs and financial options. We work with our clients to develop a plan of how to transfer, gift, or organize any assets to ensure that there is enough money to pay for long-term care needs and protect assets.
Estate planning is not just for the wealthy. Regardless of your age or income level, it is important for everyone to have a plan in place to outline your desires for how to handle your finances and health care decisions. At Reed Wilson Case, LLC, we offer a wide range of estate planning services.
Much of our work includes assisting individuals and couples to apply for Medicaid (Title 19) when someone needs expensive long-term care. Medicaid in CT can pay for skilled nursing home care, which currently costs about $15,000/month in our area.
We assist our clients at all stages of probate and estate administration. If you are the executor (a person appointed by a will to act on behalf of the estate), handling a will for someone who has passed away, we can guide you through the process of admitting the will to probate.
RWC, LLC, Attorneys and Counselors at Law has a full-service real estate department with a dedicated full-time real estate paralegal who works with both buyers and sellers.
By establishing an advance health care directive, you can guide your loved ones in making health care decisions on your behalf in case there comes a day when you cannot make those decisions for yourself.
