Welcome to the office of J. Ray Deal, PLLC.
We all realize planning for the future is important, yet the laws surrounding estates, wills, healthcare issues and assets can be very confusing. Ray Deal and his staff will take the time to explain these laws and help you create a legal plan that best meets your individual needs.
Asset Protection Through Estate Planning
When a loved one enters a long-term care facility, health costs can quickly exceed available finances. We can legally help protect your assets so that everything is not spent on healthcare and Medicaid eligibility is a possibility. The laws surrounding Medicaid eligibility are very complex and change frequently; therefore, our attorneys guide clients through each step of the Medicaid application process. Early planning can help you protect more of your assets.
Estate Planning and Administration
We can help you plan and create the documents needed to assure your assets are distributed according to your wishes and the appropriate people are designated to make decisions in the event of your illness or death. We can also assist you in managing an estate after a loved one has died.
