Our elder law services extend beyond legal documents to offer personalized strategies that address your unique needs.

Don’t leave your future to chance
Between Medicaid eligibility thresholds and frequent changes in elder law, late-life planning can seem daunting. If you’re uncertain about whether you’ll be able to age well, find certainty with Law Mosley’s long-term care planning solutions.
Elder Law Planning: A Holistic Approach
Elder law encompasses a wide range of legal concerns, including estate planning, Medicaid eligibility, guardianship, and long-term care arrangements. Every individual’s situation is different, and we believe that legal solutions should be equally unique. By taking the time to understand your personal circumstances and goals, we help you make informed decisions that protect you and your loved ones.
Developing a Comprehensive Elder Law Plan in Ankeny
A well-rounded elder law plan not only meets your current needs but also anticipates future challenges. We collaborate closely with you to create a flexible plan that can adapt to life’s changes. This allows you to preserve your assets and protect your financial security as you age.
An essential part of your elder law plan is the preparation for unexpected events. Through the use of legal tools like financial and medical powers of attorney and healthcare directives, we ensure that someone you trust is able to manage your financial and medical decisions in case of incapacity. These legal documents help protect your interests in the event of an emergency and ensure that your wishes are honored.

In Ankeny, we offer proactive maintenance programs that include regular reviews and updates to your plan. Whether your personal circumstances change or new laws come into effect, we keep your plan relevant, ensuring it continues to provide security for you and your family.
From revising your estate plan to reflect new family situations to updating healthcare directives or financial strategies, we remain vigilant in maintaining alignment between your plan and your objectives.
Medicaid Planning: Protecting Assets While Securing Care
Medicaid is an essential resource for covering nursing home costs, assisted living, and other long-term care services. However, the path to qualifying for Medicaid in Iowa can be complicated, and without proper planning, you could risk losing eligibility. Our knowledge of Iowa’s Medicaid rules and regulations helps clients in Ankeny navigate this complex system.
Maximizing Medicaid Eligibility
We assist with Medicaid planning by helping you maximize your eligibility for benefits while preserving your assets. Through the use of legal strategies such as asset transfers, trusts, and other planning tools, we help you qualify for Medicaid without unnecessarily depleting your resources.
Medicaid planning requires striking a balance between securing long-term care and maintaining financial stability. By carefully structuring your finances, Law Mosely helps you receive the care you need while protecting your wealth for future generations.
Long-Term Care Planning: Preparing for What’s Ahead
Planning for long-term care is a crucial aspect of elder law. It ensures that you or your loved ones are prepared for future care needs, whether that involves in-home care, assisted living, or nursing home care. Understanding your care options and making informed choices is key to a successful plan.
Assessing Long-Term Care Needs
The first step in long-term care planning is evaluating your current and potential future care needs. This involves reviewing various care facilities, exploring in-home care options, and assessing the associated costs. At Law Mosley, we perform a comprehensive analysis of your financial resources so you can make informed decisions and ensure your care aligns with your personal and financial goals.
Legal Tools for Long-Term Care
Several legal documents are critical to managing long-term care, including:
These documents empower trusted individuals to manage your affairs in case of incapacity, ensuring your care aligns with your values and that your finances remain secure.
Additional legal options, such as guardianship and conservatorship, are available to ensure that your personal and financial affairs are managed appropriately if you need further assistance. By designating a trusted individual, you can protect yourself from mismanagement or fraud and ensure that your needs are met responsibly.
Guardianship and Conservatorship: Protecting Vulnerable Individuals
When an adult is unable to manage their personal or financial affairs due to age, illness, or disability, guardianship or conservatorship may be necessary. These legal processes allow a trusted individual to make decisions on behalf of a vulnerable adult, ensuring their well-being and protecting their interests.
Understanding Guardianship and Conservatorship
Guardianship and conservatorship are legal tools designed to help individuals who can no longer manage their own affairs. This includes making healthcare decisions, handling finances, and overseeing daily needs. Understanding the responsibilities and requirements of these roles is essential for those considering becoming a guardian or conservator.
Establishing Guardianship or Conservatorship in Ankeny
In Iowa, establishing guardianship or conservatorship involves a legal process that requires filing petitions, attending court hearings, and adhering to ongoing legal obligations. At Law Mosley, we guide you through this process step-by-step, ensuring that all requirements are met and that the vulnerable adult’s best interests are protected at every stage.
