Philadelphia Elder Law & Estate Planning Attorney

Whether you’re planning your own estate or caring for an aging parent, having an experienced Philadelphia elder law and estate planning attorney on your side makes all the difference. Sechler Law Firm brings decades of Pennsylvania elder law experience to clients throughout the Philadelphia area — including planning for long-term care, protecting assets, and guiding families through Medicaid and estate administration.

Serving Philadelphia-Area Families Throughout Pennsylvania

Estate planning and elder law needs don’t stop at county lines. We work with clients across Pennsylvania, including the Philadelphia area, to build estate plans, navigate Medicaid planning, and administer estates and trusts — wherever our clients are located in the Commonwealth.

Common Estate Planning Tools

An experienced attorney has many tools available to help you build a plan that fits your goals, including:

  • Wills
  • Trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Healthcare directives and living wills
  • Life insurance planning

A proper estate plan does more than direct how your assets are divided after you’re gone — it also makes your wishes clear if you’re ever unable to make healthcare or financial decisions for yourself.

Planning for Long-Term Care

Many Philadelphia-area families come to us with a specific worry: how to pay for nursing home or long-term care without losing everything they’ve worked for. Pennsylvania’s Medicaid rules are complex, but with proper planning, it’s often possible to protect assets while still qualifying for the care your loved one needs.

Navigating Care Decisions for an Aging Parent

Caring for an aging parent can quickly become overwhelming, especially when adult children live in other cities or families disagree about the right path forward. A geriatric care manager — a professional who coordinates housing, home care, medical management, and other needs — can be an invaluable resource alongside your legal planning. We’re happy to discuss whether this kind of support makes sense for your family.
