BUCKS COUNTY ELDER LAW

Henry A. Carpenter II

Thoughtful Planning for Every Stage of Life’s Journey

As time goes by, your family will begin to face new challenges. Your financial circumstances and health care needs will change. So, too, will the laws that govern taxes, the protection of assets, eligibility for assistance from Medicaid to pay for long-term care, and more.

While you can’t predict the future, you can plan for it. At Bucks County Elder Law, we’ve been helping families plan for life’s inevitable changes for more than 30 years. From the moment you step into our offices, you become part of our family, and we will do everything we can to help you prepare for whatever the future may hold.

If it were possible, I’d give Bucks Co Eldercare a 10 out of 5 stars! Caring, compassionate council, and sound advice is provided, and there is no high pressure to sell services that may not be necessary. Do yourself a favor, when you need legal counsel for yourself or aging family members, see them for thoughtful and comprehensive solutions to planning for life.

For over 20 years, I have been advocating for elder care and supporting families in planning for their loved one's needs. It’s hard to navigate placement and care options. Families need guidance for power of attorney, wills, guardianship and life care planning and just protecting assets. Bucks County Elder Law is my go to recommendation for all of the life care planning and counseling they may needs. I admire that they also have social workers who are skilled in talking with families who are struggling. Cheers to Henry Carpenter and his team. I have worked well with Nicole and Whitney who truly help people in crisis. This whole team is skilled and trustworthy.

We recently had a consultation with Henry A. Carpenter II at Bucks County Elder Law, and we couldn’t be more impressed. He was extremely knowledgeable and thorough in explaining our options, addressing all of our concerns in a clear and comprehensive manner. His expertise in setting up a trust and other options was evident, and we left feeling confident in the direction we should take. Highly recommend this law firm for anyone seeking professional and compassionate legal advice.

The estate administration process is for families whose loved one has passed away and left an estate plan to follow. 

Organize your assets and affairs in advance to guard against risks to which the assets would otherwise be subject.
