Wills help distribute assets to beneficiaries at death. Living Wills are documents that outline what your wishes are regarding life-sustaining treatment and end of life decisions.
Probate is the process of administering a decedent's estate. Opening a probate estate can occur when a decedent dies with or without a will or a trust.
Guardianships are needed when an individual loses their capacity or is unable to make financial or health decisions for themselves. I assist with guardianships for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
A proper power of attorney document can help ensure the principal or maker of the document is cared for throughout their lifetime.
Erin C. Eurenius is delighted to help seniors, individuals with disabilities, and their families at West Side Elder Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 2015. She is certified as an Elder Law Attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation as a CELA®. The CELA® is accredited by both the American Bar Association and the Supreme Court of Ohio Commission on Certification of Attorneys as Specialists.
Her passion for elder law stems from her personal experiences with her grandmother, Helen. Erin’s grandmother helped to raise her while living with the family. Around the age of 84, Helen was diagnosed with dementia and a few short years later suffered from a stroke. Erin watched the repercussions of not planning ahead for these devastating occurrences in life. Erin went to doctor’s visits and hospital calls at 3 am and visited the nursing home. She saw the guardianship process firsthand. She understands the stress and anxiety that a family can be dealing with during these situations. Her goal while practicing law is to be a helping hand through the process, easing the tensions and fears that our clients and their families may be experiencing. She will work in the areas of estate planning, Medicaid, asset protection, Veterans benefit, and probate and trust administration.
Erin’s family experiences with her grandmother motivated her to attend law school. She obtained her Juris Doctor from Cleveland Marshall College of Law. Erin participated in the dual degree program and also has her Masters of Business Administration. Her previous professional career involves working in public and private accounting at the firms of PriceWaterhouse Coopers and RSM McGladrey. Her focus was on tax. Erin is a Certified Public Accountant having obtained her Bachelor of Business Administration with degrees in international business, finance, and accounting from Cleveland State University. She was part of the inaugural Honors Program at CSU and graduated Summa Cum Laude. She grew up in the Cleveland area and attended Padua Franciscan High School. Go, Bruins!
Erin has won awards for her work in elder law and estate planning including being named a Rising Star by Superlawyers for 2020, 2021, 2022. She also received the 25 under 35 Movers and Shakers award from The Cleveland Professional 20/30 Club.
Erin plans to use her personal experience and legal knowledge to understand your situation and benefit you.
