• What is a durable power of attorney, and why is it important?
A durable power of attorney allows someone to make financial or legal decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated, ensuring that important matters are handled without court intervention.
• How can I protect my assets from nursing home costs?
An elder law attorney can advise on strategies like Medicaid planning, long-term care insurance, or setting up certain types of trusts to protect assets.
• What is a conservatorship?
A conservatorship is a legal arrangement where a court appoints someone (the conservator) to manage the financial or personal affairs of an individual who is unable to do so themselves.
• How does Connecticut handle conservatorship cases?
Connecticut courts require evidence of incapacity and a clear need for a conservator. Family members or the court can initiate the process, and the court provides ongoing oversight.
• How can I protect myself from financial elder abuse?
Steps like appointing a trusted financial power of attorney, regularly reviewing accounts, and working with an elder law attorney can help safeguard against financial exploitation.
• What’s the difference between Medicare and Medicaid for long-term care?
Medicare only covers limited, short-term stays in nursing homes, while Medicaid can cover long-term care costs for eligible individuals, often requiring asset planning.
• How can an elder law attorney help me prepare for incapacity?

An elder law attorney can create documents like durable power of attorney, healthcare directives, and trusts to ensure your wishes are followed if you become incapacitated.
