Why we built this and who it's for.

The Problem

When a family member is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, dementia, or another degenerative condition, families are thrust into an unfamiliar world of legal, financial, and care decisions — often with little time and even less guidance.

Elder law is one of the most complex and state-specific areas of legal practice. Medicaid rules alone vary dramatically from state to state — different asset limits, different income allowances, different lookback periods. Families are expected to navigate this maze while dealing with the emotional weight of a loved one's decline.

Most people don't even know what questions to ask. They walk into an attorney's office overwhelmed and unprepared, which costs them time, money, and sometimes critical planning opportunities.

Our Approach

The Elder Law Planning Guide uses AI to do what a good first consultation should — listen to your situation, explain your options in plain English, and help you understand what matters for your specific circumstances.

Personalized Guidance

Not a generic article. The guide adapts to your state, family structure, assets, and specific concerns.

State-Specific Data

Verified Medicaid figures for all 50 states + DC, including CSRA, MMMNA, penalty divisors, and more.

Plain English

Legal concepts explained clearly, with definitions and context — no jargon without explanation.

Actionable Output

Walk away with a downloadable planning document, action steps, and questions for your attorney.
