Elder Care

Fogelsville, Pennsylvania, Elder Care Attorneys

Many elderly Americans want to continue to enjoy the independence that living on their own affords. If their health wanes, their families must plan for long-term nursing care while protecting their estates. If the mental state of loved ones is in question or a dishonest health care provider takes advantage of them, it may be necessary to establish a guardianship to protect the elderly person's interests.

The law office of Snyder & Wiles, PC, helps families establish legal guardianships and powers of attorney in cases where mental capacity and undue influence are concerns. We also assist families with the issues surrounding Medicare and Medicaid planning. Our firm will advocate for victims of elder abuse and nursing home neglect.
