Dublin Elder Law FAQs

Are you legally responsible for your elderly parents in California?

In California, adult children are generally not legally required to support their aging parents financially. However, the state’s filial responsibility laws mandate that adult children pay for their parents’ nursing home care if the parents can’t afford it and qualify for Medi-Cal.

These laws are seldom enforced and typically only come into play if parents transferred assets to their children to become Medi-Cal eligible. An elder law attorney can help you navigate these issues and find solutions that protect your finances while ensuring your parents receive the necessary care.

What is the average cost of an elder law attorney in California?

The cost of hiring an elder law attorney in California varies based on the complexity of your case, the services needed, and the attorney’s experience. Some charge hourly rates, while others offer flat fees for specific services.

At Barr & Douds, we prioritize transparent pricing and offer various engagement options to accommodate different budgets. During your initial consultation, we’ll provide a detailed breakdown of our fees and anticipated expenses.

What are some indications that it may be time to consult an elder law attorney?

Certain situations signal that it may be wise to seek legal guidance, such as:

  • Dramatic, unexplained changes to wills, trusts, or powers of attorney.
  • Unusual banking activity or abrupt shifts in spending patterns.
  • Withdrawal from long-standing social connections and support networks.
  • Visible signs of neglect or substandard care.
  • Expressions of fear, anxiety, or disorientation by an older loved one.
  • Marked deterioration in physical health or living conditions.

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s best to consult with an elder law attorney without delay. Swift action can be vital to protecting a vulnerable senior’s safety and well-being.
