Newcastle 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 Newcastle 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 McClain County District Court used after capacity is already lost.

We're worried about long-term care costs for my Newcastle parent. What can we do?

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

FEHB coverage continues into retirement for federal employees who meet eligibility requirements, which can offset some long-term care medical costs.
