Niles Estate Planning Attorney — From $500
Lysinski & Associates P.C. serves Niles's many communities with clear, language-accessible planning, and Adam Lysinski helps families handle a common turning point — a parent who needs more help and a home that has become too much. Plans start at $500.
Niles is one of the area's most diverse villages, and across its families a recurring moment is the same: an aging parent, a longtime home, and a decision about staying, downsizing, or moving into senior living. The planning meets that moment in plain language, in Polish where it helps, with the documents that make the next steps possible.
What a Niles plan covers
- Authority while there is capacity. Powers of attorney for property and healthcare, signed while a parent understands them, so a family member can manage care and finances.
- Senior living and care costs. Where a move to senior living is ahead, asset and Medicaid-eligibility awareness shapes how the home and savings are handled.
- Downsizing the home. When the family home is sold, the legal side of the sale is coordinated with the parent's care and the overall plan.
- Passing it on. A living trust, a transfer-on-death instrument, or beneficiary planning passes the home or its proceeds without probate.

Niles Estate Planning Questions.
Our parent may move into senior living. What should the plan account for?
Care costs and Medicaid eligibility shape the choices, and Adam structures the home and savings with those in mind while keeping powers of attorney current.
When we sell the family home, can you handle that with the estate plan?
Yes — the sale is coordinated with the parent's care and the overall plan so the legal and financial pieces move together.
Czy konsultacja może odbyć się po polsku?
Tak. Powers of attorney and the rest of the plan are prepared and explained in Polish or English, whichever is easier.
My parents are in a Niles senior community with a will and a condo. Could nursing-home costs take the condo?
Possibly. The tool that can protect the home is an irrevocable Medicaid asset protection trust: assets moved into it more than five years before applying for Medicaid generally aren't counted or subject to estate recovery. Adam reviews whether one fits and the timing it requires.
It's time to move our aging Niles parent into something smaller. How do we handle the legal and financial side?
Adam coordinates the sale of the home with your parent's care and finances: powers of attorney let a trusted family member act, and the proceeds are directed under the plan rather than left in limbo. For Niles's many multilingual families, he handles it plainly, in Polish where it helps.
