Maryland Elder Law, Estate Planning & Probate Attorneys

For over 65 years, Frame & Frame Attorneys at Law has been serving the legal needs of our community. We provide services, often to several generations of the same family, for thoughtful planning and during times of crises. We are proud to serve as your family’s lawyer and trusted advisor. Frame & Frame focuses on three core areas of legal service:

Estate/Probate/Elder Law

Everyone should have a will and an estate plan, regardless of your age, income or other demographics. Without an appropriate plan, you have no control over the distribution of your assets, who will administer your estate, or who will care for your children. We help you create a plan that will protect and provide for your loved ones, in accordance with your wishes.

Our Maryland estate planning & probate attorneys have helped hundreds of personal representatives probate estates. We have also helped hundreds of personal representatives probate estates, ranging from simple wills to complicated trusts. We provide a variety of services, catered specifically to your needs, including:

• Wills and Trusts
• Financial Powers of Attorney
• Healthcare Powers of Attorney
• Asset Protection
• Medicaid Planning
• Revocable Living trusts
• Irrevocable Trusts
• Special Needs Trusts
• Estate Administration; and
• Probate

Elder law deals with a variety of legal issues typically faced by individuals as they age. Asset protection, rising medical problems, hospital stays, independent living, nursing homes, and assisted living facilities are just some of the concerns we can help address.

Family Law & Guardianship

Family law and guardianship issues are complex and often affect every member of the family, so we work with you to understand your needs and provide the guidance that will best serve you and your family. Family law encompasses:

• Divorce and spousal support,
• Custody and visitation,
• Child support, and
• Guardianships.

Family law issues involving children should be handled in a way that keeps the interests of the children in mind. Our firm protects your rights, while working to obtain a solution that is in your best interests and the best interests of your family.

There are many reasons why a guardianship may become necessary – an adult may become incapacitated temporarily or permanently and may need someone to handle his or her affairs. In other instances, a parent may not be able to care for a child due to illness, drug abuse, incarceration or severe financial problems; or it may be that a minor child receives an inheritance. In such situations, a guardianship may need to be established. Our firm works to recommend the best course of action, based on your situation, while balancing the sensitive and personal nature of these matters.
