Elder Law
Elder law refers to federal and Massachusetts laws and regulations that govern Medicaid (known as MassHealth in Massachusetts), Social Security, VA benefits, pensions, nursing homes, long-term care and trusts.
Our experienced elder law attorneys provide services to assist in several matters such as:
- MassHealth and Medicaid eligibity and applications
- Planning for long-term care without risking your home and all your assets
- Healthcare related forms including a healthcare proxy, living will and authorization to release medical information
- Durable powers of attorney
By planning ahead when possible, family members and professionals will have clear instructions of your wishes. In the event you are not able to make decisions on your own, documents will be in place for another to act on your behalf.
If long-term care is imminent, contact us today at 781-996-5656 or email info@mbakerlaw.com to determine your best options.
Estate Planning
An estate plan may be comprised of a few documents such as a last will and testiment, powers of attorney, trusts, homestead declaration and healthcare proxies.

- Planning for an extended life
