Family Law & Divorce Law
If you are going through a divorce, there are many issues that need to be decided and settled before a court can issue a final divorce decree, including child custody, child support, and spousal support. Mr. Scammahorn understands the emotional and financial concerns and the many decisions that you need to make. He will work closely with you to ensure that your best interests are represented, your financial concerns are addressed, and your children are supported financially. Mr. Scammahorn will work with you to ease the burden that results when a marriage is dissolved.
If you are adopting a child, our family law practice can work with you to finalize the adoption. We can work with you whether you are choosing an open or closed adoption and whether you are choosing a private adoption or an adoption through an agency. We can also assist you with stepparent adoptions. The Tyler family attorney of Scammahorn Law Firm will work with you closely to ensure that the legal end of the adoption is finalized so that you can focus on your family.
Wills & Medicaid Planning
Mr. Scammahorn provides services to estate planning clients in the area of wills and Medicaid planning. Writing a valid will ensures that your assets are distributed as you intended upon your death. A will is also important for ensuring that your children are taken care of when you die, both physically and financially. With his extensive tax experience and knowledge, Mr. Scammahorn can draft a will that will minimize the tax consequences on your estate and to your heirs. Mr. Scammahorn will listen to your desires for your will, and he will draft a will that accomplishes your goals and that is properly executed to avoid will contests.
Medicaid planning involves advance preparation and estate planning that will not require you to spend down your assets in order to qualify for Medicaid benefits should you or your spouse need to enter a nursing home. The way ownership of your assets is structured can affect whether they are considered for Medicaid eligibility. Contact Mr. Scammahorn today to discuss your estate plan and advance Medicaid planning.
