• Establish Powers of Attorney. Assign trusted individuals to manage financial matters if circumstances require.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my family situation changes after creating my estate plan? 

We review and update plans to accommodate life changes such as marriage, divorce, or the arrival of children, ensuring your wishes remain current.

How do I plan for potential long-term care needs without compromising my estate? 

We provide strategies that balance care planning with asset protection, helping families prepare without unnecessary loss.

Can I coordinate this with my existing financial or retirement plans? 

Yes, we work alongside advisors and financial planners to align your legal documents with your broader financial picture.

What is a durable power of attorney under Colorado law?

A durable power of attorney is a legal document allowing someone to manage your financial matters if you become incapacitated, and it remains valid even if you cannot make decisions yourself.

Can I protect assets for my spouse while qualifying for Medicaid in Colorado? 

Yes. Colorado law allows for planning strategies to protect assets and still meet Medicaid eligibility for long-term care needs.

Do Colorado laws require me to have a will or trust? 

While Colorado law does not require you to have either, having a will or trust ensures that your assets are distributed according to your wishes rather than default state rules.
