The Elder & Disability Law Firm Founder, Victoria L Collier Urges Early Asset Protection

Certified Elder Care Attorney, Victoria Collier encourages readers to seek asset protection before it’s too late, saying that once a crisis point is reached, meaning someone has entered a nursing home, there’s less opportunity for protection and assets run out quickly.

Decatur, GA, August 3, 2017: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Elder & Disability Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “Pre-Plan To Protect Your Assets” in she which hopes to persuade readers to do what they can to protect whatever assets they have for long-term care.

Victoria Collier“Let’s face it,” writes Collier, “money cannot make you happy, but it surely can make you more comfortable as you grow older.” She continues adding, “So even with minimal assets, it is my goal to create long-term care plans that help my clients maintain quality of life while simultaneous being able to access quality care with the assets they have.”

“Of course, the truth is that the more money you have and the longer you can make it last, the longer you’ll be able to maintain a higher quality of life,” Collier states adding, “The important thing to remember is not to wait until you are in physical or cognitive decline to start attempting to protect your assets.”

According to Collier, “We can do so much more when we are fortunate enough to be able to assist our clients prior to being admitted to a nursing home. “ She elaborates, “The luxury of helping clients during what we refer to as a pre-planning situation, we can utilize many more financial assessment-leveraging tools such as asset protection trusts.”
