What we do
Four pieces of work for the later years
We don’t do divorces, injuries or business deals. We do this, for parents and for the grown children helping them.
Powers of attorney
Name the person who pays the bills and talks to the doctors if your parent can’t. Done while they still can.
About powers of attorneyMedicaid planning
A nursing home can cost more each month than a mortgage. We plan how to pay for it without handing over the house.
About Medicaid planningGuardianship
When a parent can no longer decide and never signed papers, a court names someone. We take the family through it.
About guardianshipSpecial needs trusts
Leave money to an adult child with a disability without cutting off the benefits they live on.

Special needs trusts, in English and Spanish.
From the sons, daughters and parents we’ve sat with
“Ferdinand came to the hospital on a Sunday so Dad could sign while he still knew what he was signing. He read every line aloud to him.”
Renata P.Daughter, Wauwatosa
“My brother lives in Phoenix and I live in Brookfield. Chiamaka set up one call a month for both of us and sent the notes after.”
Desmond A.Son, Milwaukee
“I wanted my own say in it. Xochitl met me in Bay View and spoke to me, not to my kids across the table.”
Lorraine K.Client, Bay View
Every family’s situation is different. These words describe their experience and don’t promise a result in yours.
