Lincoln County elder law FAQs

What is elder law and how is it different from estate planning?

Estate planning is mostly about what happens after death. Elder law is mostly about what happens while you're alive but increasingly need help.

My parent in Lincoln County is starting to decline. What documents do they need now?

A durable power of attorney for finances, a healthcare power of attorney, an advance directive, and HIPAA authorizations.

What's the difference between a financial power of attorney and a guardianship?

A durable power of attorney is signed while the senior still has capacity. A guardianship is a court proceeding at Lincoln County District Court used after capacity is already lost.

Long-term care planning depends heavily on timing. SoonerCare has specific rules about countable assets, spousal protections, and lookback periods.
