Law Office of Natalie J. Miller, PLLC

We are devoted to creating solutions that maintain the respect and dignity of our clients and their families. Elder law is unlike any other area of law in that it does not focus on a particular subject matter but a select group of clients – the elderly. Our dedication to elder law has lead to an understanding regarding our elderly clientele. Natalie Miller ignores the myths relating to aging and the competency of the elderly. She is aware of the real life difficulties, both physical and otherwise, that sprout up as we age and is prepared to assist you in overcoming these difficulties.

Our office uses creative tools and legal techniques to assist the elderly in achieving their goals and objectives. For example, under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, the State of North Carolina could seize your assets and sell them after your death to recoup the cost of the Medicaid benefits you received while alive. This is commonly called Estate Recovery. Property that was exempt during the Medicaid recipient’s lifetime may be used to reimburse the state for the benefits paid. We can recommend the proper estate and tax plan to limit the risk to your property should you become incapacitated.

Moreover, we can assist you in attaining the proper long-term care, including locating the proper type of care, coordinating public and private resources to finance the cost of your care, and ensuring your rights as to the quality of care.
