Benjamin Baird deForest II

About three years ago my Aunt gifted my husband and her other nephew money. She was elderly but in good heath and managed all of her affairs. Now forward to last fall and she becomes ill and now is in a nursing home. With no other family we took over handling her finances and it was at that time w...e knew we would need help in handling the transition to Medicaid. With an internet search found Attorney Ben de Forest. He was able to meet us and our Aunt at the nursing home and answered questions of what we could do and expect during the process. Ben was very competent and was able to get her approved for Medicaid without us having to pay back the gift. He was always available to answer questions and we were very happy with his service.

When my aunt became ill we were suddenly faced with overwhelming decisions. She was admitted to a nursing facility immediately and important decisions had to be made. Ben DeForest was HIGHLY recommended by the nursing home as a skilled elder attorney. Ben is very patient, kind and genuine as he... led us through the process of estate planning. He was always more than willing to answer any questions we had. As we were faced with some unusual circumstances, Ben was able to guide us through the process with outstanding results. Been exceeded our expectations. Should we need an elder care attorney in the future, we will not hesitate to hire Ben once again.

As POA for my brother, I found it overwhelming when he had to be placed in an extended care facility. Benjamin deForest was helpful in so many ways and was always available for the many questions that I had during that difficult time. He set up a trust and helped to make the transition to medicaid... as easy as he possibly could. He was also very helpful to the realtor and others involved during the sale of my brother's home. I recommend Benjamin to anyone contemplating getting an attorney to handle any and all problems associated with elder care.
