Laidlaw Firm commonly assists clients with their estate planning needs, including Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Health Care Proxies and Living Wills. We also develop asset protection plans, especially to protect assets against the cost of nursing homes or home care, and assist elderly clients with qualifying and applying for Medicaid. A few common techniques we use in this area are promissory notes, caregiver agreements, supplemental or special needs trusts, pooled trusts and irrevocable grantor retained income only trusts. Finally, to help reduce estate taxes that may be owed at death, we advise on gifting and trust strategies, and encourage the use of irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILITs).
