Veteran's Benefits

You have served your country. Isn't it time to collect benefits you deserve?

  • Do you qualify for any VA benefits? How can you find out?
  • Do you meet the three key criteria?
  • Do you need continuing care? Are you at home or in an assisted living facility?
  • Do you want to find out more about VA benefits that could bring you extra income of thousands of dollars a year?

Long Term Planning

You have saved for retirement and now you want to protect your wealth from the costs of health care... When you look at the costs of care, it can be frightening! What can you do?

  • Are you planning for long term care?
  • Do you want to protect your hard-earned savings?
  • Do you want to make sure your estate goes where you want?
  • Would you like to plan charitable gifting that provides an income now, during your retirement?
  • Have you considered how to exit your small business and keep what you have earned?

Call me today to talk about options you might have...

Supplemental Needs Trusts

One of the biggest concerns for parents of a special needs child is how to provide for their child after both parents have died.  Government benefits such as SSI and Medicaid are very important but are often not adequate to meet all of the needs of the disabled individual, especially when the parents or caregiver are no longer able to provide the primary care giving. 

At Doug Koenig Law, we assist families of disabled individuals to include a special needs trust in their estate plan.  We carefully build a trust to meet your specific and unique concerns and will counsel you and the nominated trustee on how the trust should be administered to protect your disabled family member and to ensure that your goals are met.

Wills and Estates

Trusts

When you are facing a major life crisis and you realize that you don't know who will get your money, your estate, your precious coin collection ... or who will take care of your special needs child ... or where you will live ... what do you do?

    • Is your will and estate plan up to date?
      • Did you consider new children, divorces, special needs in your family?
      • Do you need or desire a trust for your children or parents be established?
      • And, if you have a larger estate we can discuss methods to preserve wealth and to carefully transition your legacy to future generations.
    • Do you need help probating your estate?
      • We can help you get your estate in order and reduce the costs and delays of probate.
      • Do you anticipate, are are you currently in Will contests, appointment of administrators, or guardianships?

Call me today for peace of mind ...

Powers of Attorney and Elder Law

Is your loved one facing a major age related decision? Do you worry how to take care of your aging parents?

  • Is your Health Care Power of Attorney available to your advocate?
    • What are your rights when hospitalized?
    • What level of care do you want, and how far should it go?
  • Do you need to find a new place to live, or to arrange for assisted care?
