Questions
What areas of law does White & Jocham specialize in?
We specialize in elder law, estate planning, probate, asset protection, and Medicaid planning for Central Indiana residents.
How can Medicaid planning help protect assets?
Our Medicaid strategies use legal tools like irrevocable trusts to preserve assets while maintaining eligibility for nursing home benefits.
Do I need a will if I have a small estate?
Yes - wills ensure your wishes are followed regardless of estate size, avoiding state intestacy laws during probate.
What's the difference between a will and a trust?
Wills distribute assets after death through probate, while trusts allow ongoing management and avoid probate court involvement.
How do I start the estate planning process?
Contact us for a consultation to discuss your goals, then we'll create a customized plan using wills, trusts, and healthcare directives.
Can you help with out-of-state legal matters?
We primarily serve Indiana residents but can assist with planning strategies that accommodate multi-state asset holdings.
