Long-Term Care Planning Advice for Seniors can be hard to come by these days! Did you know that if you’re Single – the odds are 50% greater that you will need long-term care by age 65?

Married, those odds jump up to 75% that you or your spouse will need long-term care. Long-term care is expensive! Going by national average, a year in a nursing home is estimated to cost more than $75,000!

The average nursing home stay is two-and-a-half years. Is it any wonder then that 50% of mature couples become impoverished within a year after either spouse enters a nursing home. This number jumps to 70% for widowed or single persons.

The key to proper long-term care planning is to plan now, rather than to react later. There are many legitimate methods and strategies to preserve more of your personal assets – but only if you do not procrastinate!

If you’d like advice and counsel regarding your long-term care options before you sign any applications – give us a call – we’re always here to help!

My wife and I met with Matt Luedke of Moulton Law yesterday for a full hour. Introductory call but I had prepared them that I had many specific legal topics to cover and that it was OK to charge me for the time. Matt was very professional and knowledgeable and he freely shared his advice regarding the legal issues we are struggling with. We are looking at very specific legal structures for our businesses and it turns out this is not an area where Moulton Law operates. Despite this, I felt the guidance Matt offered was outstanding and I got a lot of value out of our discussion. He did not charge us for his time. I have nothing but great things to say about Matt and I am very likely to work with Moulton Law in the future when we update estate plans.

This firm truly cares about their clients and it shows in the quality of their work. They were very thorough and made sure that my trust was tailored to my specific needs (I have special needs children). I would highly recommend them .

Matt went above and beyond to ensure that my parents' estate was properly taken care of. He took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure that all of our questions were answered. I highly recommend Moulton for anyone in need charged with administering an estate.

Matthew was a great help getting a Medicaid application processed for my wife. Very professional, not sure if I could have done it without him and his team. I have and will recommend him to anyone in similar circumstances to mine. Thanks for all your help.

Diana was so professional and personable. She had everything in order and spent time explaining and answering any questions we had. She made both of us feel like a friend helping a friend. If we have any questions we will definitely contact her.

Moulton Law office has helped us with legal matters for many years. We’ve let things slide and have come back to the same helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant people who know their job and do it well. A cutting edge firm in my opinion!

Working with Jenny Hubbard at the Kennewick office of Moulton Law Offices was perfect for what I needed help with. She explained all the questions I had about writing a trust that would make my wishes easy to understand for my sons when the time comes. They also felt comfortable asking her questions. I especially like that the office is in Kennewick so I don’t have to travel far when I have questions. Jenny and her lawyer are here to help you with your questions.

My family has worked with Mr. Gunning at Moulton Law for over 10 years. I am retired and have worked with many attorneys in my business career. Mr. Gunning is by far, the best attorney I have ever been associated with:1. He clearly explains complex legal issues2. He is an excellent listener and offers focused solutions3. He has always treated my 97 year old Mother with kindness and respect.4. The resulting Trusts/Wills have been very detailed and comprehensive.In my opinion, you will be very satisfied working with Mr. GunningAlso the support team is great to work with. Very Upbeat. Our favorite is Holly who has been there for a long time. She is very sharp, confidential, and quick to get to the bottom line in getting things done. Moulton Law is fortunate to have Holly on the Team!

My husband and I met with Diana Davis, a Paralegal from Moulton Law Offices. She has been there for awhile and we have met with her before. She is very professional but personable and totally knows the details that she is there to explain to us. Our Estate Plan needed updates, and Moulton Law Offices efficiently and thoroughly advised us of this, undertook the appropriate revisions, contacted us to discuss and schedule a followup meeting, and then Diana came with all the updates. She went through all the relevant changes and sections, replaced all the previous ones in our copy, obtained our signatures where needed, and all the while answered any questions we had. It was a very pleasant exchange and only took us about 1/2-hour. We are very glad we made the decision 8 years ago to contact Moulton Law Offices to help us prepare an appropriate (to our circumstances) Estate Plan. Diana is a real asset and someone good to know when we don’t need to speak directly with the lawyers (all of whom we also like and appreciate. Highly recommend them all.

We had a very good experience working with Moulton Law for our Trust. It's complicated work, and it was great to have a local office to visit for our appointments. Jenny went over all of the documents thoroughly and efficiently. She answered our questions, made changes as needed, and made sure we understood and were comfortable with the documents we were signing. She is a great resource!

My husband and I attended a Moulton Law Office presentation about Trusts and Wills. We chose to have Moulton prepare our Trust. At the signing, we received a very large package of documents, including medical directives, and a Trust/Will that will serve our children well upon our demise. Jenny was outstanding and very knowledgeable.

We have been working with Moulton Law Offices in the effort of updating an existing family trust. We have been extremely satisfied at the timely responses and the caring manner of Moulton Law Offices in guiding us through the process. We are extremely grateful to the Kennewick office and especially to Jenny Hubbard. Jenny has been so kind and caring throughout the process and has constantly encouraged us to contact her if we have any questions. On behalf of the family, thank you.

Jenny was great! The entire Moulton law team have been very efficient and we had no surprise on the final price or finished product. Attorney Mike Gunning did an outstanding job of explaining the entire process, advantages and issues if you choose not to get a living trust. To us it was no question that it was the right thing! The local Kennewick office was perfect for us, because I don’t think we would have made it to Spokane and we need a local contact.
