Callaghan Parente llp  Attorneys and Counselors at Law
Callaghan Parente LLP provides a variety of services to address the
complex issues facing the elderly and their families.  We have a deep
understanding of the complexity of these issues and a sensitivity to the
confusing nature of the decisions which often must be made.  We treat
our clients with the compassion and dignity that they deserve.

We take a multi-disciplinary approach when counseling our senior clients
and their families, considering general estate planning, gift tax planning,
incapacity planning, long term care planning, and Medicaid planning.  We
also focus on providing solutions to personal care decision making
issues including guardianships, powers of attorney, health care proxies,
and living wills.

The ballooning cost of long-term care is a cause of major concern for
many.  Long term care can cost thousands of dollars monthly and can
deplete your savings and assets, potentially depriving you and your
loved ones of the fruits of a lifetime of hard work. These costs can be
avoided or reduced by purchasing long-term health care insurance.
However, in those cases where long term care insurance is unavailable
or inappropriate, we can formulate a plan to protect your assets and
insure that you qualify for Medicaid should the need arise.

Early planning is the best approach to these potential problems, and we
urge you to do so, but it is never too late to consult a legal professional.  
Careful and early planning offers our clients the best opportunity of a
relaxed and satisfying retirement.
