Applying for Medicaid for Elderly Parent

In January we went to Sarah for help in applying for Medicaid for our father who is in a nursing home. Sarah helped up with information on how to navigate the cumbersome task of gathering all the documents necessary for Medicaid approval. Sarah answered all our questions via e-mail or phone in a ti...mely manner. Our father was approved for Medicaid one month later. We were happy to hear that Dad had been approved so quickly. We believe that Sarah's attention to detail and her accurate responses to our questions helped us complete the process so quickly. We highly recommend Sarah for anyone who needs legal advice in helping their elderly parents.

Comments about Sarah Peet

I had the privilege of meeting Ms. Peet at a seminar at which she presented. I approached her after the meeting to ask some personal questions, which she explained to me so that I could fully understand. We worked with Sarah and her law firm to help us prepare a Special Needs trust and Power of At...torney. She also answered my son's questions regarding another legal situation and treated him with such respect. We referred another family member in which she created a trust, who was very pleased with her knowledge, professionalism, cost and follow-up. I would highly recommend Ms. Peet as an attorney.

Endorsement for Sarah Schelling Peet

I recently hired Sarah Schelling Peet to create my Will, and I have nothing but glowing remarks to contribute. Sarah is extremely knowledgeable, to the point of being a specialist in the practice of Wills and Estate Planning. She is honest and trustworthy, and I recommend her highly!

Personal Plan

I knew nothing about estate/will planning when I was referred to Mrs. Peet. She not only knows everything that will plan for my family, but she also explains the terms and choices in language that I can easily understand. She keeps abreast of all legal changes and policies. She is very courteous a...nd easy to relate to. She also keeps me informed of interesting items that occur.

Estate planning review

We loved working with Sarah Peet for our Estate planning! She was so professional and caring. Deciding on guardians for your children and dividing assests can be daunting, but she thoroughly walked us through each step and helped with so many questions. I highly recommend her services!

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
