Forwarding thinking attorney - Elder Law

Taking care of an elderly parent can present some major challenges. As they get older, the decisions one must make get tougher and tougher. That is why you need an attorney who is forward thinking with knowledge of potential issues before they arise. It is so much better to be proactive - rather... than have to be reactive as life situations change. Lyn Eliovson is just that type of attorney. She advises you of potential issues that will need to be addressed as your parent ages. Whether is be creating a straightforward Power of Attorney document or handling complex Trust issues, she is there to advise you on the correct course of action for the present time and into the future. Lyn's pleasant personality is an added plus; helping you navigate through these often complex situations. Anyone using her services will get the resources of an accomplished attorney with a heart.

i didn't realize how many options I had

My dad was self managing and even though my parents where getting older neither my brother nor I ever thought the day would come when we would have to manage their affairs and take care of them. They were always very private and we found no reason to intrude. We met with Lyn Eliovson and realized t...hat there were options we never even considered. She helped my parents understand the importance of updating their powers of attorney and living wills and addressed how important it was to plan in advance for their care. If it had not been for Lyn, when my mother's memory started to fail and my dads physical health declined we would all have been at a loss. She opened our eyes to the necessity of elder law planning and as we now face placement issues she continues to be available with efficient, knowledgeable, focused, reliable, legal and financial advice. I would highly recommend Lyn to anyone looking for an elder law attorney.

Outstanding Experience

My 95 year old mother was living independently in NYC when she fell and broke her ankle. I knew that we now needed to deal with not only her recovery but also the task of finding appropriate care. Engaging Lyn was by far the best decision I have ever made. She is extremely knowledgeable and guide...d me through the whole process from finding a suitable nursing facility to handling mom's Medicaid application. During our first meeting she took the time to patiently explain all of my options as well as what were her recommendations. I never felt pressured, in fact during the whole process Lyn described everything in terms that were easily understood. Lyn has an excellent command of all the issues I was facing in arranging for my mother's care. She has made sure to "cross every t and dot every i" which has given me and my family a tremendous piece of mind. I would highly recommend Lyn to anyone who is facing the task of how best to care for their elderly parents.

Linda Eviovson, Concierge Legal Service

Linda deserves ten stars for guiding my way thorough the care of my elderly parents. As an out of state POA, I needed a lot of information and Linda very clearly explained Connecticut laws regarding Medicare/medicaid and long term elder care. Through her advice I was able to obtain 24 hour home care... for my father and then get both parents transferred to a long term facility under Medicaid. Linda drafted documents for my parents and personally delivered them for signing. Linda is premier elder law council in Fairfield County and I was fortunate that she was able to help so much. I highly Linda Eliovsons' counsel in matters of elder law.
