Elder Law

Legal Considerations for the Aging and Elderly

New Jersey Elder Law Attorney John G. Hoyle III

Reaching retirement age often brings a sense of urgency to issues such as health care, nursing home planning, and asset protection for future generations. Hoyle Law, LLC of Monmouth County, New Jersey, is uniquely poised to address the legal needs of the aging baby boomer population.

I am John G. Hoyle III, an estate planning attorney who has practiced in Monmouth County for 12 years. I established Hoyle Law, LLC in 2007 to concentrate on elder law issues that I saw as increasingly important to clients. Hoyle Law represents individuals and couples, as well as children concerned about their elderly parents' welfare. We offer counsel and representation in the full elder law spectrum:

Long-term care planning — helping clients plan for nursing home care/assisted living care, including financing options and qualifying for Medicaid without depleting all savings and assets

Guardianship and conservatorship — court process appointing a son or daughter whom you trust to manage your finances and follow your wishes, or contesting efforts to have a guardian take control of your affairs

Comprehensive estate planning:

• A last will and testament
• Trusts to facilitate transfer of assets to heirs or to put stipulations on inheritance
• Power of attorney in case you become incapacitated
• Living will and advance health care directive to guide family members in medical and end-of-life decisions
• Administration of trusts

Elder abuse

We also represent elderly clients or intervene on their behalf in cases of financial or physical abuse, working with elder care agencies to stop the abuse and recover any misappropriated assets:

• Mistreatment or substandard care in a nursing home
• Victimization by scam artists or theft by caregivers
• Embezzlement by a financial adviser or fiduciary
• Undue influence of a family member to alter a will

Hoyle Law offers sound advice and solutions in all elder law matters: real estate transfers and reverse mortgages, insurance and retirement benefits disputes, compliance with Medicaid rules.
