Many clients at the Law Office of Margaret H. Kreiner are retired individuals who need advice about:

• Protecting their eligibility for Medicaid
• Finding satisfactory alternatives to nursing home placement
• Making sense of the complex Medicare Part D prescription drug benefits, including Medicaid qualifications

Other clients include:

• Younger families concerned about arranging long-term care for elderly parents
• Those who have come to realize that it is not too soon to plan for their own later years through estate planning
• Those planning for the needs of a disabled loved one

The sooner you prepare a solid estate plan that incorporates any number of basic estate planning tools including advanced health care directives, durable powers of attorney and trusts, the broader your options will be.

We also practice in the probate courts of Northeast Ohio on estate administration matters. Many of our clients are from out of state and need advice about elder law and long-term care options for their parents in Northeast Ohio. Some come to our offices seeking counsel on V.A. aid and attendance benefits. In some cases, they need long-distance representation as executors or personal representatives in Ohio probate proceedings or as a trustee with trust administration.
