Elder Law

Naples Elder Law Attorneys

Aging comes with both wisdom and complexity. At Safe Harbor Law Firm, our Naples elder law attorneys help seniors and their families prepare for the future with clarity, compassion, and purpose. Whether you’re planning for long-term care, seeking help with Medicaid eligibility, or making critical health care decisions, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

We serve clients throughout Collier County with a focus on preserving dignity, security, and peace of mind. Elder law isn’t just about legal documents; it’s about real life, real concerns, and the people who matter most.

What Is Elder Law and Why Does It Matter?

Elder law is a specialized area of Florida law focused on the needs of aging individuals and their families. This includes planning for future health challenges, understanding government programs, managing property and financial matters, and arranging guardianship or fiduciary roles.

Our team helps Naples families navigate elder law issues with a steady hand and a clear plan. Some of the most common concerns we help with include:

  • Medicaid planning and eligibility for long-term care benefits
  • Health care surrogate designations and advance directives
  • Guardianship proceedings for loved ones who can no longer manage affairs independently
  • Asset protection strategies to preserve wealth for future generations
  • Nursing home transition planning and crisis support
  • Comprehensive estate plans including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney

We understand how overwhelming these decisions can feel, especially when facing tight deadlines or sudden health changes. That’s why we offer personalized attention and compassionate counsel that respects your values and priorities.

Florida Medicaid Planning for Long-Term Care

One of the most common elder law concerns we handle is Medicaid planning. In Florida, long-term nursing home care can cost thousands of dollars a month, and without proper planning, those costs can quickly deplete a family’s savings.

The good news is that Medicaid may cover many of these expenses, but eligibility depends on strict income and asset limits. Florida Medicaid rules change often, and even small financial moves can affect your ability to qualify.

We work closely with seniors and caregivers to:

  • Review eligibility based on current income and resources
  • Develop legal strategies to qualify while preserving assets
  • Complete the Medicaid application and documentation process
  • Coordinate with care providers and agencies

By planning ahead, you gain more control over your financial future—and more options when it matters most. Whether you’re years away from needing care or already facing a nursing home stay, we’re here to help guide your decisions with clarity and purpose.
