Elder Law

Dedicated Elder Law Attorneys Proudly Serving Individuals and Families

At Myatt & Bell, P.C., we are committed to representing family members and friends of those who cannot handle their own physical and financial affairs. We help our clients obtain the protection of a temporary or permanent guardianship or conservatorship. When pursuing guardianships and conservatorships, we will conclude the initial filing as expeditiously and sensitively as possible while supporting the guardian or conservator throughout the proceedings. Our goal is to help our clients care for their loved ones with confidence.

Empowering Guardians and Conservators

The extended incapacity of a parent or aging loved one can be highly disruptive to a family, particularly if one child must assume a greater role in caring for the incapacitated parent. While this transition can be difficult, it does not have to negatively impact the family or damage sibling relationships. When properly prepared and with sufficient support, families can navigate this period of life in a way that honors their loved one and strengthens the bonds among family members.

Protecting Your Aging Loved One

Elder law focuses on the protection of individuals over the age of 65, regardless of their health. Most elder law issues arise when a loved one begins to struggle with or lose the capacity to care for themselves. Incapacity is most often a result of dementia or a similar illness. As we age, most of us will start to lose the ability to provide for our safety and well-being, care for ourselves, manage our finances, or perform daily tasks. Our experienced elder law attorneys are ready to help your family navigate the challenges associated with financial institutions or other authorities who may question your legal authority to act on behalf of your aging loved one.
