My husband and I had been procrastinating for a number of years regarding having our last wills and testaments, financial powers of attorney and our durable health care powers of attorney/health care treatment instructions (living wills) prepared by an attorney. The task always seemed so overwhelming and let's face it, also somewhat depressing. It wasn't until I received an email from Keystone Elder Law offering a free online video to learn more about all of these items that I decided it was time to take action. I am so glad that I did! I watched the free online video facilitated by Attorney Patrick Cawley. He presented the content in laymen's terms and pointed out the importance of having these documents versus how things can go terribly wrong without them. I was very pleased with his legal background and wide expanse of knowledge and expertise with elder law. I immediately called to make an appointment. We completed some preliminary paperwork about ourselves and our assets so he could prepare for our initial meeting. The entire process was very streamlined and comfortable from beginning to end! It was far from being overwhelming as I had once envisioned. My husband and I are very pleased and so glad that we are now prepared for the future and can enjoy our retirement worry free. We both highly recommend Keystone Elder Law.

We were introduced to Keystone Elder Law through one of their seminars. We have had our wills and POA’s updated several times. Before Patrick, our attorneys never introduced a trust as a means of addressing estate planning and long-term care planning. In addition, no attorney ever discussed the Medicaid annuity as a strategy for estate preservation. Patrick took the time to explain how the documents complemented each other and how the strategy worked for our benefit. We highly recommend Keystone Elder Law.

Keystone Elder Law P.C. updated my father's trust when my mother passed away in 2011. Recently my father passed away and I cannot thank Keystone Elder Law P.C. for the thorough work they completed on my father's trust. There are so many things that need to be taken care of when a parent passes away and Keystone made this process so much easier. I especially want to express my thanks to Jane Calvert-Mayo for the detailed information she gathered and emailed to help me close out my father's trust. Her knowledge and expertise was amazing and she went above and beyond to answer my questions over the phone and provided forms and instructions. Jane is a tremendous asset to Keystone and I am so grateful for all the assistance that she gave to me. I highly recommend Keystone Elder Law P.C. to anyone seeking legal assistance with wills and trusts.

We attended a seminar conducted by Patrick Cawley of Keystone Elder Care. The seminar was eye opening for us as Patrick explained the whole process in easy to understand language. We had been looking into what was involved in settling our affairs upon our death, a subject which, for obvious reasons, we had put off discussing. We were impressed with the seminar presented by Patrick and we set up an appointment to discuss further what our options were. In addition to Patrick's knowledge of the issues we were even more impressed with his demeanor and calmness. He was informative and asked all the right questions to ascertain our needs. In addition to the plan created for us we can also call them anytime we have questions at no extra costs. That was important to us because our heirs live out of state and were encouraged to call the office with any questions they may have. He and his whole staff were very friendly and respectful. We would wholeheartedly recommend Keystone Elder Care.

A lot of information about will and other thing that are needed for life's events.

The staff at this firm is extraordinary. They go out of their way to assist you and are there to answer any questions. The office made this whole uncomfortable experience, an easy one to deal with and it is nice to know they will be there for us if we need them. I would recommend this group to anyone.

The entire firm made us feel welcomed. A very relaxed and knowledgeable experience was enhanced by professional attention to detail and subsequent follow-up. A real peace of mind is invaluable to us, knowing that we have eased a burden to our family going forward. We hope that they will value our planning and see the same value in their planning as well.

As Patrick states It’s always important to take a few extra steps to be ready for unexpected issues and his videos do just that. They explain every step in detail and help you understand plans in a simple way

I highly recommend Keystone Elder Law for all of your estate planning needs. Attorney Patrick Cawley and his staff were very professional and compassionate in assisting my wife and I in constructing our estate plan.

We first went to KEL when we realized my mother and father were going to need help as my father was suffering with dementia. It became very overwhelming for my mother to be his full-time caregiver as we kept him as home as long as possible. KEL was there to give my mother advice to help her through all the Medicaid information and did all the paperwork for DHS for her! It was an amazing relief that she did not have to do all that! They also helped reach out to find a nursing home for my father when it was time. It is very difficult to get anyone in a nursing home directly from your own personal home, unless you have substantial finances. Kathy Gingrich, not only was an invaluable help to my mother but became a friend. Personally, I cannot give Kathy enough praise. We had an large financial situation with the VA and DHS and she resolved it to the financial benefit of my parents!! She has been a blessing to my parents and our whole family. I realize it may be hard to make an investment for elder care but my whole family will tell you that KEL is worth every cent!!

Our experience with Keystone elder law was very pleasant. Kelly Apple Yard explained everything thoroughly and they prepared all the paperwork we needed. They even took paperwork for my husband to the facility where he was. I would recommend them to my friends and family with no problem at all.
