Estate and Trust / Elder Law

The estate planning and elder law practice group at Knight, Manzi, Nussbaum & La Placa, P.A., in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, handles a full range of estate planning and elder law matters for residents of southern Maryland and the Washington, DC metro area. Our goal, as your estate planning and elder law attorneys, is to help you plan for the future, and provide financial and health care security.

Estates and Trusts

Estate planning involves planning for the distribution of assets upon a person's death. Failure to plan your estate, regardless of your wealth, can have serious consequences on your loved ones. The firm represents individuals in their estate planning needs, including the transfer of family assets from generation to generation. Our estate planning attorneys are experienced in handling estate planning, including the drafting of wills, trusts, living wills, and guardianships. We also handle the probate administration of estates and the utilization of probate avoidance alternatives, such as revocable and irrevocable trusts.

Elder Law

We handle a range of issues geared toward the legal needs of the elderly. Long-term care can have a devastating effect on finances. Many people do not realize the law lets them arrange their finances so they do not have to spend all of their money on long-term health care. We help our clients keep every penny the law allows, overseeing all aspects of an asset protection plan and providing comprehensive case management services for the elder client and their family. We provide legal advice in areas such as long-term care planning, wills and trusts, estate planning, Medicaid eligibility and trust planning. We also provide asset protection from nursing home costs, living wills, powers of attorney, health care directives, probate and trust administration, and guardianships.
