Elder Law Attorneys




Perez-Roura Law offers comprehensive elder law services to Miami seniors and their families, including Medicaid planning, long-term care strategies, guardianship, estate planning, and legal advocacy tailored to the needs of older adults.

Aging brings new legal and financial challenges—from healthcare decisions and long-term care costs to protecting assets and ensuring your wishes are honored. At Perez-Roura Law, we help Miami seniors and their families navigate this stage of life with clarity, compassion, and customized legal planning. Our elder law services focus on dignity, independence, and proactive preparation. Whether you’re preparing for the future, facing an immediate care issue, or helping an aging parent manage their affairs, we offer the legal guidance and support you need to feel confident about the road ahead.

Medicaid Planning and Long-Term Care Strategies

Paying for long-term care is one of the biggest concerns facing older adults. Nursing home costs in Miami can exceed $100,000 per year—and Medicare doesn’t cover extended stays. That’s where Medicaid planning comes in. We help seniors qualify for Florida Medicaid benefits without exhausting their life savings. This includes legally structuring assets, using irrevocable trusts, and timing gifts to preserve eligibility. We also assist with applications, appeals, and care coordination to ensure your plan aligns with both financial needs and personal values. Perez-Roura Law’s approach is focused on early, strategic planning—but we also help in crisis situations when care is needed right away.

Estate and Disability Planning for Seniors

A well-rounded estate plan goes beyond passing on wealth—it ensures your wishes are followed if you become incapacitated, minimizes family conflict, and protects your estate from unnecessary taxes or creditors. We prepare Florida-compliant wills, revocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, living wills, and healthcare surrogate designations specifically tailored to senior clients. These documents help you stay in control of your affairs, even if you face dementia, illness, or hospitalization. With legal protections in place, you gain peace of mind and give your loved ones a clear roadmap for supporting you when it matters most.

Guardianship Guidance and Alternatives

Sometimes, guardianship is necessary when a senior can no longer make safe or informed decisions, and no prior planning documents are in place. We help families petition for guardianship in Florida courts and ensure that the proposed guardian understands their duties. We also represent clients in contested guardianship cases, including those involving elder abuse or financial mismanagement. Whenever possible, we explore alternatives—such as durable powers of attorney or trust-based solutions—to avoid guardianship entirely. Perez-Roura Law handles these delicate matters with sensitivity, helping families protect their loved ones while preserving autonomy where possible.

Protection from Elder Abuse and Financial Exploitation

Unfortunately, elder abuse—particularly financial exploitation—is an increasing concern in Miami and across Florida. Our firm provides legal advocacy for seniors who have been taken advantage of by caregivers, relatives, or professionals. We take swift legal action to recover stolen assets, remove abusers from positions of power, and implement legal protections moving forward. We also work with concerned family members who suspect abuse, offering guidance on how to intervene legally and ethically. Our priority is always the well-being, dignity, and safety of our elderly clients.

Supporting Families Through Life Transitions

Elder law isn’t just about seniors—it’s also about supporting their loved ones. We work closely with adult children, caregivers, and healthcare proxies to create coordinated care and legal plans that reflect the senior’s values. Whether you’re dealing with Medicare enrollment, housing transitions, end-of-life planning, or blended family dynamics, we help guide your decisions with empathy and legal clarity. We explain options in plain language, facilitate difficult conversations, and make sure every voice is heard in the process. Our mission is to help families move forward together—with respect, legal protections, and a sense of control.

Growing older shouldn’t mean giving up your independence or your peace of mind. At Perez-Roura Law, we provide the legal tools and compassionate guidance Miami seniors need to age with dignity and security.
