As an elder law attorney, Jane C. Dell’s practice includes long-term care and asset protection planning, special needs and Veteran’s benefits, along with estate planning and estate administration, wills, trusts and real estate. Jane is also an accredited attorney with the Veteran’s Administration.
Over the last few years, Jane’s practice has evolved to include extensive work in helping clients protect assets when facing long-term care expenses in the nursing home or in an assisted living facility.
