What Our Awards Mean for You
At Salish Elder Law, we are proud to announce that we have been recognized in the Seattle Times Best of PNW contest, winning the Gold Award for Best Elder Law Firm and the Silver Award for Best Estate Planning Firm. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Edmonds community for your trust and support, which have played a vital role in helping achieve this recognition.
While we celebrate this, we also want to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of elder law and estate planning and how they can benefit you and your loved ones.
Understanding Elder Law and Its Importance
Elder law encompasses a variety of legal issues that affect seniors and their families. It includes estate planning, guardianships, long-term care planning, and more. Our firm focuses on helping clients navigate these complexities to ensure that their rights are protected, and their wishes are honored.
Key Areas of Elder Law:
Estate Planning: Proper estate planning is essential for everyone, especially seniors. It helps you manage your assets during your lifetime and ensures that your wishes are followed after your passing. This includes drafting wills, trusts, and powers of attorney.
Guardianships: For families dealing with aging parents or loved ones who can no longer care for themselves, establishing guardianship can provide peace of mind. This legal arrangement ensures that vulnerable individuals receive the care and protection they need.
Long-term Care Planning: With rising healthcare costs, planning for long-term care is crucial. Our team helps clients understand their options, including Medicaid planning and long-term care insurance.
Property Agreements: We assist clients with prenuptial and postnuptial agreements to protect significant assets and provide clarity in financial arrangements. These agreements are vital for high-net-worth individuals and those with complex family dynamics.
Tax Planning: Effective tax planning is crucial for preserving wealth. We provide strategies to minimize tax liability while ensuring compliance with current tax laws.
Long-term Care Planning: With rising healthcare costs, planning for long-term care is crucial. Our team helps clients understand their options, including Medicaid planning and long-term care insurance.
Litigation: We represent clients in various elder law-related disputes, including will contests and fiduciary removals. Our litigation services ensure that our clients' rights are protected in contentious matters.

As we celebrate these achievements, our primary goal remains the same: to provide high-quality legal services tailored to the unique needs of each client. We invite you to explore our range of elder law and estate planning services and see how we can assist you in securing your future and protecting your loved ones.
