About Nathan

Biography

Let us help you have peace of mind in the second half of life.

If your loved one is facing an expensive care journey, it's critical that you get the right advice about paying for care. We help clients access benefits to pay for long-term care, and create estate planning coordinated with the rules for those benefits, so they don't go broke paying for care.

Estate planning is crucial protection for your loved ones.

Probate is the process of gathering information about the estate's assets, paying debts, distributing assets and changing title to property after a loved one passes away. Let us put our experience to work for you and have the peace of mind of knowing that we will guide you every step of the way.

Trusts are powerful tools for protecting your savings and your family's future.

Excellent, Precise & Thorough

Nathan Ziegler & Associates is the only law firm that thoroughly understands the ins and outs of elder law and what it takes to protect assets and to prevent going broke to receive care. They have integrated financial planning and legal work to take care of multiple generations of family.

VA Benefits

Mr. Ziegler and his associates were wonderful to work with in obtaining VA benefits for my Mother. The process was completed in a professional and timely manner, and with relative ease. I was impressed with frequent updates about the progression of our claim. Sondra and staff were extremely helpful ...in making sure this was not an overwhelming process.

Analytical Capabilities with Empathetic Communication

A reputable firm of 80 years, referred Nathan Zeigler to our family reporting, he had the best, legal knowledge and experience, for Elder Law. Indeed, Nathan provided the highest level of professional skill, and integrity in helping our family navigate through personal, and business needs. His resp...onsiveness, and hands-on approach, helped position estate planning, health, and long-term care planning, during our family member’s end-of-life decisions. The analytical capabilities to understand our unique circumstances, yet with empathy and compassion, helped put financial safeguards in place. I continue to refer matters to Nathan Zeigler. He is considered a worthy competitor, due to his ability to stay apprised of the ever-changing state, and federal regulations governing eligibility. Zeigler does above and beyond to stay at the cutting edge of the law knowing; Estate Planning, Wills, Trusts, Tax questions, Powers of Attorney, Probate, and Elder law, with civility.
