West Palm Beach · Palm Beach County
Elder Law & Medicaid Planning Attorney serving West Palm Beach
West Palm Beach is home. Our office sits at 303 Evernia Street, blocks from the courthouse where Palm Beach County probate is administered, and the firm has served this community's families since its founding. Clients here have a choice most of Florida does not: meet us by Zoom like everyone else, or sit across the conference table downtown.
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 West Palm Beach matter
Probate venue. Palm Beach County probate is administered in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, through the Palm Beach County Main Courthouse in downtown West Palm Beach. 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 Palm Beach County begins with a scored telephone screening through Your Aging and Disability Resource Center (the Area Agency on Aging serving Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast), 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, operates in Palm Beach County, offering an alternative pathway to comprehensive community-based care with its own enrollment process. We evaluate PACE alongside the waiver in every design meeting.
As the firm's home county, Palm Beach County matters get the benefit of daily familiarity with the local probate division, the area's nursing facilities and assisted living communities, and the regional aging network.
How we serve West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach 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 West Palm Beach. 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.
