Law Offices of Adam J. Roa, P.C., an elder law firm

Maryland Elder Law

The Law Offices of Adam J. Roa, P.C., provides comprehensive Medicaid planning, probate, estate planning, litigation, and guardianship services for individuals and families. We service the following areas: Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Howard County, Montgomery County, and Bel Air, Maryland.

Nursing Home and Medicaid

Many changes have come about for families planning for Medicaid because of the recent changes to the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. This process can be very difficult for families without all the complex issues created by the DRA. After our initial consultation we will provide a roadmap outlining the pertinent issues in your case and how we are going to work to resolve those issues. You will know what to expect every step of the way.

Probate

Probate can be a long, time consuming, confusing, and expensive process. This process can certainly become more complicated with disgruntled family members. Let us shoulder the burden of taking the complexity out of the probate process. Let us protect your interest in the estate. Our office works in a fair and efficient manner to make sure no wrong steps are made and your interest and the estate's interest is best preserved.

Litigation

The process of contesting a will or trust can be very difficult especially when dealing with family members. This is a process that can be a nightmare to live through when thinking that your own family may be trying to take something that is yours. Let our firm represent you in what can be a very exhausting process and get you what is rightfully yours.

Guardianship

Guardianships are an alternative way to help a loved one when the proper planning was not done. Some people are not capable in making their own day to day decisions, whether it be healthcare or financial, but as their son or daughter you have no rights to help them because they do not have a Power of Attorney and their health has declined too much to create one. Guardianship is an alternative to this situation. Allow our firm to assist you in becoming the court appointed guardian of a loved one.

Estate Planning

Let's face it. We probably don't think of creating or revising our Last Will and Testament until something has happened either to our family or to someone we know. Why is that? Perhaps it is a thought that we'll do it when we have time. Or maybe it is the fear that having an estate plan is going to cost us an "arm and a leg." From an elder law point of view, the time and expense associated with the proper estate plan pales in comparison with the cost of improper or no estate planning. At end of the initial consultation, you will know exactly the costs that will be involved and can make an informed decision whether to proceed.
