Orlando · Orange County
Elder Law & Medicaid Planning Attorney serving Orlando
Central Florida families are often first-generation Floridians: parents who relocated for retirement while the children stayed in other states. Our statewide Zoom model puts the Orlando parent and the out-of-state children in one meeting, which is usually the meeting where the plan finally happens.
Turk Law Group is a boutique West Palm Beach firm serving families throughout Florida: Medicaid and long-term care planning, estate planning and trusts, probate avoidance, asset protection, and protection from elder exploitation. Meetings are held by Zoom with every family decision maker in the room, and documents are executed under Florida's remote online notarization law or by coordinated signing near you.
Arrange a ConsultationWhat is local about a Orlando matter
Probate venue. Orange County probate is administered in the Ninth Judicial Circuit, through the Orange County Courthouse in downtown Orlando. A funded revocable trust keeps your family out of that courthouse entirely; when probate is unavoidable, we handle it without your family ever needing to appear.
The aging network. Home and assisted living Medicaid in Orange County begins with a scored telephone screening through the Senior Resource Alliance (the Area Agency on Aging for Central Florida), reached via Florida's statewide Elder Helpline, 1-800-963-5337. That screening call determines your place in line for the waiver; we prepare families for it before they dial.
Alternative programs. PACE, the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, is expanding across Florida; we confirm current enrollment options for Orange County as part of every design meeting.
Orange County's aging services run through Central Florida's regional alliance, and Orlando's growth means screening queues reward families who prepare before they call.
How we serve Orlando families
Plan ahead
Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts, Lady Bird deeds, and integrated estate plans built five or more years before care, so nothing is countable when it matters.
Navigate a crisis
When care is needed now: asset and income strategy, spousal protections, Qualified Income Trusts, the Medicaid application, and guidance through the facility process.
Keep it current
Every strategy is executed, funded, and reviewed through our Legacy 360™ process, so the plan still works when your family finally needs it.
Questions Orlando families ask
- Do we ever need to come to West Palm Beach?
- No. Every standard meeting is by Zoom, and signings are completed under Florida's remote online notarization law or coordinated near Orlando. The plan, and the law behind it, is identical statewide.
- Will Medicaid take the house?
- The Florida homestead is generally protected during life, but Medicaid estate recovery can reach it after death without planning. The right deed or trust structure protects it. Run the numbers with our free probate and long-term care calculators.
- Is it too late if my parent is already in a facility?
- Almost never. Crisis planning routinely preserves far more than families expect, and a nursing home stay can even open a pathway around the waiver waitlist for home or assisted living care. The strategies narrow with time, so call sooner rather than later.
