California elder abuse attorneys - Cunningham & Associates

Elder law is a distinct legal field which concentrates on the legal, financial, social, and healthcare needs of one specific sector: the elderly. It is a law practice that is built on compassion, care, and concern for the older client. As we get older, many of us are faced with difficult and important decisions regarding our healthcare and financial well being. Cunningham & Associates' California elder abuse attorneys work hard to protect the rights of older people and to prevent their exploitation, abuse, and neglect. We also help educate older people about assistance in the areas of public benefits, health, and long-term care planning, including In-Home Health Support Services (IHHSS) and Medi-Cal. Our California elder law attorneys can help seniors understand their legal rights and protect them from elder financial abuse and exploitation.

We take elder and elder abuse law seriously.

Cunningham & Associates' elder abuse attorneys represent clients in Camarillo, Los Angeles, San Diego , Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and other cities throughout Southern and Northern California. Our elder abuse law services cover a variety of different specialties including:

Estate Planning for Medi-Cal

Medi-Cal is a combined federal and state program that is designed to pay for long term nursing home care for impoverished adults. Federal and state laws provide estate planning options for Medi-Cal for both single and married individuals. These laws allow you to protect your assets and still qualify for Medi-Cal benefits to pay your nursing home costs. Our elder law attorneys will work with you to design and implement a plan tailored to your needs. We help clients qualify for long-term care benefits without depleting their estate.


	Estate Planning for In-Home Health Support Services (IHHSS)
	If In-Home Health Support Services (IHHSS) is important to you, you’ll need to plan for it in advance. Let Cunningham & Associates help ensure you receive legal support for your goals.


	Guardianship and Conservatorship Facilitation
	Sometimes loved ones need help with financial or personal matters. Whether due to age, incapacity, or some other circumstance, the courts can be asked to intervene to appoint a guardian or conservator. The guardian or conservator accepts responsibility for the financial and personal needs of the ward. Our attorneys can help with regular reporting to the court on the ward's personal and financial status.


	Litigation
	Unfortunately, elder abuse and elder financial abuse is all too common. In the event of elder or elder financial abuse, Cunningham & Associates can help. Our team of Southern and Northern California elder abuse attorneys are experienced in incidents of nursing home abuse, neglect and elder financial abuse. The elder abuse law they practice includes protecting the living elderly as well as contesting wills or trusts that have been wrongly influenced by others such as caretakers.

	Probate Support
	When someone dies, probate may be required to legally transfer title of assets to the appropriate beneficiaries, to appoint the executor or administrator of the estate, or to determine distribution of estate assets. Probate law can be intimidating, but our probate attorneys are here to help with common needs such as admitting the will to probate court; obtaining certified letters testamentary or of administration; or in final distribution of the assets of the estate. When it comes to the physical, sexual or financial abuse of an elderly person you can trust that Cunningham & Associates’ California elder abuse attorneys can and will help.
