Like it or not each day of our lives we get older. If you need extended nursing home care, you will want to ensure that the assets you have spent a lifetime accumulating will not suddenly disappear. Your home and other assets will need to be protected for your surviving family members. The court will appoint a stranger to act as your conservator or guardian in the event you have not previously chosen one. These are issues over which you have control, and consulting with an estate planning attorney will allow you to plan for your future.
