You Should Be Thinking About Long-Term Care Cost

At Vick Law, we meet with Indiana families every week who are overwhelmed by the cost of long-term care and the confusion of Medicaid rules. Often, they’ve already started spending down assets just to qualify—sometimes draining their life savings before they find out there was a better way.

Early Planning Is Critical to Caring for Elderly Parents

Early and open conversations about caregiving expectations can prevent conflict, protect finances and ensure that your parents receive the support they need. Too many families wait until a crisis—like a fall or sudden diagnosis—before talking about elder care. By then, decisions are rushed and stressful. Starting the conversation early gives parents a voice, reduces family conflict, and protects finances through the right legal planning. At Vick Law in Greenwood, we help families prepare with powers of attorney, trusts, and long-term care strategies—so you can face the future with confidence, not panic. 👉 Read our full article here: [link to blog] 📍 Vick Law, 3209 W.

What Is a Living Will and Why Do You Need One?

Many people have heard of a last will and testament, but fewer know about a living will—and it’s just as important. While a last will deals with your property after you pass away, a living will explains your medical care preferences while you’re still alive but unable to speak for yourself. At Vick Law in Greenwood, Indiana, we often meet with families who don’t realize how critical this document can be until they’re already in a difficult medical situation. Having a living will in place spares your loved ones from making agonizing choices without knowing what you would have wanted.
