Shannon Pawley, The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, explains the role of Elder Care Law Attorneys and how to go about choosing the right one for your specific circumstances and needs.

DECATUR, GA, September 23, 2024: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new blog on the law firm’s website entitled “What You Need to Know About Elder Care Law During a Medical Crisis.” Ms. Pawley reminds readers that while being prepared for medical emergencies is best, there are legal tools and steps an Elder Care Attorney can take to create an emergency estate plan.

“If you’re reading this,” Pawley writes, “congratulations. You survived the COVID-19 Pandemic.” She continues, “One of the most important things we learned because of this world-wide tragedy is that millions of people were caught unprepared for this medical emergency. As a result, some families are still suffering untold hardships.”

As Pawley notes, “The truth is we never know what’s going to happen at any given moment in our lives. We think we’re in control,” she states, “then something comes out of left field. Accidents, sudden illness, strokes, pandemics.” She goes on to write, “As an estate and asset protection attorney, I have people come to me often during a medical crisis. As much as I try to educate people about the importance of planning for the worst sooner rather than latter, procrastination is a hard habit to break.”

According to Pawley, “The good news is that if a medical crisis has not affected the mental capacity of the person, there are legal tools and steps to take that an experienced elder care attorney can help you with during a medical emergency. If your loved one doesn’t have any plan in place, creating an estate plan during an emergency is essential in ensuring that your wishes are honored, and that your loved ones are protected.”
