We help families protect their assets and plan for the future.
A will is what most of us think of when we think of estate planning. However, it is almost always best to avoid probate altogether. At the Weeks Law Firm we will examine your family's assets and help you achieve your financial goals.
Too many families believe they must spend their money and give away their property, even their home, in order to qualify for medicaid. This is not true. The Weeks Law Firm can help.

Areas of Practice
Medicaid ELIGIBILITY
For married couples, even during a crisis, we can often save all of the couple’s assets and obtain medicaid benefits within 90 days. For single individuals, their options are more limited but asset protection is still possible using medicaid laws. Call us today for more information.
medicaid planning
Many people believe that a person must "spend down" all their assets or give them away five years before applying for medicaid. This is not true. With some basic planning, most people can preserve their assets and qualify for medicaid benefits. Contact the Weeks Law Firm. We can help.
VETERANS benefits planning
Veterans and their widows may be eligable for money to pay for activities of daily living (bathing, walking, eating, toileting, dressing). The benefit is a Special Monthly Pension called “Aid & Attendance.” This benefit is based on a person’s assets and income. The Weeks Law Firm can help our veterans navigate the application process.
medicaid applications
The Weeks Law Firm can help you or a loved one successfully apply for medicaid. You are required to apply for benefits with the Department of Health and Human Services in the county where the applicant will receive care and assistance. We can help you successfully navigate this critical process and get the help you or your loved one need.
Medicaid appeals
You have the right to an appeal if your application for medicaid is denied. Contact the Weeks Law Firm immediately. We will review your application and fight for you.
Miller trust / qualified income trusts
If you or a loved one have monthly income that exceeds the medicaid income cap, the income in excess of the cap can be placed into a miller trust and spent on permissable expenditures. The Weeks Law Firm can evaluate your income levels and advise you or your loved one on whether this option is the right tool for your family.
estate planning
Estate planning is essential for all of us. It is especially necessary for those with minor children, older adults who have a spouse with a disability, or an adult child with special needs. The Weeks Law Firm can evaluate your situation and create the estate planning tools you need.
estate administration
If you have a loved one that has passed away, the Weeks Law Firm can help you navigate necessary next steps. An attorney is not always necessary. We can help you determine if estate administration is appropriate and explain how to smoothly go through the process.
