Personal Injury Settlements

Estate Planning for Attorneys of Clients with Personal Injury Settlements

Cohen & Oalican works closely with personal injury attorneys and their clients to see that personal injury settlement funds are properly managed and that clients continue to receive the public benefits to which they are entitled. What may appear at first to be a large personal injury settlement can quickly disappear if exhausted on healthcare needs and expenses that can be obtained from alternative sources.

The firm provides advice to attorneys to help their clients make sure the money lasts a lifetime. Of course, each client's situation will be different and will require an individualized strategy crafted to meet his or her needs. Cohen & Oalican works with the attorneys, clients, family members, social workers, and courts to create estate plans which preserve the personal injury settlement or award for the disabled individual.

An attorney from the firm can discuss strategies for your client's personal injury settlement. Cohen & Oalican offers personalized legal counsel with a focus on protecting your client's assets for care and support during his or her lifetime and for the family after he or she dies.

The firm provides advice in elder law and estate planning areas such as the following:

• Long-term health care and Medicaid planning
• Wills and trusts
• Special needs trusts
• Guardianships and Conservatorships
• Estate tax planning
