The Siegel Law Group, P.A.

Estate Planning, Elder Law, Probate and Trust Administration

Barry Siegel’s grandmother, Betty, didn’t have long-term care insurance. When she got sick, she was advised to spend her assets until she had nothing left. That experience profoundly affected Siegel, who now runs The Siegel Law Group in Boca Raton.

It became his mission to help others avoid those kinds of hardships. He learned how she could’ve protected her assets.

“You can do everything right and then you get sick and the cost of care is outrageous,” he says. “Legal services can help clients avoid going broke and protect their hard-earned assets. If not, you could end up in the same situation.”

He said misinformation can lead to expensive mistakes. For example, he says you don’t have to be poor to get assistance. Just about anyone can get government help. “We’re able to help people qualify for government benefits and still protect their assets.”

Siegel believes people should be able to age with dignity. Their needs should be met as they get older.

“They don’t want to be a financial burden and not have the pride of leaving something, even a token amount, to their kids,” he says.

Siegel and his team provide counsel and legal representation for estate planning, elder law and probate and trust administration.

“We want our clients to understand what their options are for planning so that they and their families can make the best choices upfront,” Siegel says.

They develop long-term relationships with their clients. Birth, death, marriage, divorce, illness, retirement, financial situation changes and even revisions to the law can all impact your future. That’s why Siegel says it’s important to create a long-term relationship with your attorney. His team offers a complimentary review to new clients and a complimentary review every three years to existing clients to ensure their estate plan will work for them when they need it. As your life changes, so must planning. “We want to make sure your estate plan continues to work for you as time goes by.”

When you think about going to a lawyer or planning for your end-of-life finances, it may not be exciting or comfortable. “We’re dedicated to making it an easy, simple and pleasant experience.”
