At Sergovic Carmean McCartney & Owens, P.A., we guide clients through some of life’s most important and sensitive matters with compassion, care, and a strong knowledge of Delaware law. From protecting vulnerable loved ones to planning for long-term care, our elder law services are designed to provide confidence and peace of mind.
When an individual is no longer able to manage their own personal or financial affairs, a guardianship may be necessary. Our attorneys assist families in petitioning the Chancery for guardianship and in carrying out the ongoing responsibilities that come with it. We approach guardianship cases with sensitivity, balancing the need to protect a loved one with respect for their dignity and rights.
The cost of long-term care continues to rise, and many clients worry about how to afford the support they or their loved ones may one day need. We help create strategies that protect assets while meeting eligibility requirements for Medicaid. By planning ahead, families can avoid last-minute crises and ensure that care needs are met without exhausting financial resources.
Also known as Qualified Income Trusts, Miller Trusts are sometimes required in Delaware for individuals whose income exceeds Medicaid eligibility limits. Our attorneys assist in establishing and administering these trusts so that clients can qualify for much-needed benefits while still managing their financial obligations.
Delaware’s elder law framework has unique processes and requirements. From probate court oversight of guardianships to state-specific Medicaid planning rules, local knowledge makes a significant difference. Our attorneys are deeply rooted in Sussex County and understand the nuances of Delaware law, allowing us to guide clients with clarity and confidence.
We know these matters are often deeply personal. At Sergovic Carmean McCartney & Owens, P.A., we combine legal skill with compassion to help clients make the best decisions for their loved ones. Whether you are preparing for the future or facing a sudden need, we are here to provide trusted counsel and steady support.
