Planning for the Future After a Terminal Diagnosis

Peace of Mind, Lasting Legacy, and the Guidance You Deserve

At The Lansky Law Firm, we understand that a terminal diagnosis is one of life’s most difficult journeys. It brings emotional weight, medical complexities, and a deep desire to make sure loved ones are protected and supported.

While this time is undeniably overwhelming, it also presents a meaningful opportunity: to take control of your future, solidify your wishes, and leave behind a legacy of love, clarity, and peace.

Your Estate Plan: A Gift of Certainty

If you already have an estate plan, now is the time to review and update it. Life changes, relationships evolve, and your documents should reflect your most current intentions.

• Wills and trusts should be carefully reviewed to ensure they still align with your wishes.

• Beneficiary designations on life insurance, retirement accounts, and financial assets should be confirmed—because these designations often override your will.

• If you’ve established a trust, make sure it is properly funded by transferring or retitling intended assets into the trust’s name. A trust can only protect what it actually holds.

Appointing the Right Advocates

During this sensitive time, choosing trusted individuals to carry out your wishes is key. Ensure you have:

• A financial power of attorney who can handle your finances if you become incapacitated.

• A healthcare power of attorney who can make medical decisions on your behalf.

• A living will that clearly outlines your preferences regarding life-sustaining treatments and end-of-life care.

These legal documents relieve your family from having to guess what you would want and provide essential guidance to your medical providers.

Tailored Trusts for Unique Family Needs

Every family is unique. Depending on your circumstances, the right trust can:

• Avoid probate delays and simplify asset management with a revocable living trust.

• Provide long-term care for minor children or loved ones with disabilities through a special needs trust.

• Protect assets if long-term care or Medicaid eligibility becomes a concern with an irrevocable trust.

At The Lansky Law Firm, we help you select the tools that align with your values and goals—offering security for your loved ones today and tomorrow.

Planning for Long-Term Care

If nursing home care becomes necessary, Medicaid planning can help preserve your family’s financial future. Medicaid eligibility can be complex, but proactive strategies may allow you to qualify for benefits while protecting your assets from being entirely spent down.

Our team will guide you through this process with compassion and clarity, making sure your family isn’t left financially vulnerable during an already difficult time.

Protecting Your Online Legacy

As estate planning evolves, The Lansky Law Firm is committed to helping you protect all of your assets—both tangible and digital.

Your online life—email accounts, social media, digital photo libraries, financial apps, and even cloud storage—holds personal and emotional value. With a carefully crafted digital Will, we ensure your online presence is handled exactly as you wish, giving your loved ones access to what matters and protecting your privacy in the process.

Don’t leave your digital assets to chance. Let us help you include them in your comprehensive estate plan.

More Than a Plan—A Personal Legacy

Estate planning isn’t only about documents—it’s about what you leave behind in spirit. Consider:

• Writing a letter of wishes to your family.

• Creating video or audio messages to be treasured for generations.

• Establishing charitable gifts that reflect your values.

These deeply personal touches offer comfort, inspiration, and a lasting connection to your loved ones.
