Advance Care Planning Tools: The Georgia Advance Directive

By Hurley Elder Care Law | April 10, 2019

[tm_pb_section admin_label=”section”][tm_pb_row admin_label=”row”][tm_pb_column type=”4_4″][tm_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] The Georgia Advance Directive for Healthcare was adopted by the Georgia legislature and put in place by the Department of Human Resources Division of Aging Services on July 1, 2007. It was created to replace the old living will and power of attorney for healthcare. Prior to 2007, Georgians could…

Client Testimonials

All I can say is Wow ! I have never seen a team attack and solve a problem like Hurley. We lost our father and two weeks later our mother suffered a severe stroke. Nursing home costs were draining their life savings, but Hurley found a solution and got things under control.

Gary G.

Hurley Elder Care Law went to work for my Mother and navigated all of the Government red tape and got her approved for Medicaid in short order. I, as her POA, could not even begin to climb the mountain of paperwork on my own.

David Q.

Very comfortable atmosphere. They treat you like you are one of the family.

Val B.

It's impossible to accurately describe the lost feeling of realizing you need power of attorney, updated will and general guidance all of a sudden when dealing with a parent with dementia. The firm’s responsiveness has been superb, their work flawless and their advice kind, compassionate and professional. I'll forever know that their guidance prevented us from making many bad decisions.

Neal R.

Due to aging, escalating health and cost concerns for both my husband and myself, I chose to work with Hurley Elder Care to do care and estate planning. I am so very pleased with the result. I have a much improved understanding of the complexity of this process, the necessary documents, timing, regulations and the need for professional guidance.

Gina M.

Superb service through a difficult maze of governmental regulations and requirements which are not navigable by an individual without a depth of knowledge that far exceeds mine.

Wallace M.

I needed to redraft my will, health care directive and power of attorney after my divorce and estrangement from a child. Needless to say, it was an emotionally delicate process but Jennifer was incredibly sympathetic and really knows her stuff! She’s uber-professional but personable and the entire revision process took a matter of several weeks and was fairly priced. I love that the firm sends newsletters with articles that are of interest to those in the later stages of life and their loved ones who might be caring for them. Nobody enjoys thinking about their eventual demise but it must be done if you want to make it easier for those left behind. Highly recommend!

Their team approach is a model of efficiency, and efficacy. The level of care they provide the client is unsurpassed in my experience. We were blessed to have been referred to them.

The entire staff was excellent to deal with. Courteous, professional, and knowledgeable service, they were always prompt in answering questions and being able to direct me through the process of selling my parents’ home. I would not hesitate to recommend them for all of your elder care legal services.

The team at Hurley Elder Care Law (Kaila Crowder, Nicole Lott & Paul Abrahamson) were very attentive and supportive. They guided me through every step of the process to help my dad. Any steps I needed to take were extremely clear and easy to execute. They did exactly what they said they would do from beginning to end. They provided regular status updates and phone calls to check on our well-being. I would highly recommend Hurley Elder Care for your elder family members needs.

I have been so pleased with Hurley EC Law's skilled and knowledgeable service. Kaila, from the beginning, has patiently assisted me in my "learning curve" as executor in the probate/estate phase. Hurley's professional staff are available for calls and thru email, to address and answer every question I've needed during this unfamilar process. And Kiersten, who was assigned to assist me for my final phase, has been on point from the introduction. She was completely informed on my file, which assured me that she'd put in the work to know where we were in the process when she stepped in. Kiersten is a very professional and personable Blessing to me who constantly keeps me updated on changes and what I need to do to keep on task the "Hurley way". She consistently follows thru on getting out the appropriate documents and notifications needed in getting every task done. Many thanks to Kiersten. I finally do see the light at the end of this very long tunnel. I would highly recommend Hurley ECL to family and friends.

We are a very close-knit and spiritual family, and we love and cherish the opportunity of taking care of our family. It was very painful when we learned that one of our dear and senior siblings had developed a severe case of dementia. And this family member was being cared for by an older sibling, which cannot be sustained. To this end we searched and found Hurley Elder Care Law, who is very experienced in this area of assisting families with finding senior care in this area. Hurley Elder Care Law assisted us in finding a facility which specializes in senior living and rehabilitation care. Additionally, Hurley Elder Care Law has assisted us in getting this family member qualified under Medicaid and they were very professional throughout the entire time and process. We would highly recommend them to others seeking similar needs and care.

MATTHEW NORTHCUTT 11/13/2023
I hired Hurley Law because my research showed that they were the most trusted elder law group in Atlanta. Danielle did not disappoint; she was compassionate, hard working, and ultimately won the dispute on my behalf. Great work, Danielle!

Sid Stephens 8/07/2023
My family is so thankful we found our way to Hurley Elder Care. We initially met with them just to discuss updating my parents’ legal documents. Mom has dementia and she still held my dad’s health care power of attorney. Miles Hurley is a wealth of knowledge and opened our eyes to ways to protect my parents’ assets as well as getting mom approved for Medicaid so in home services can be provided to assist my parents. We worked closely with Paul to provide all the needed documents. His knowledge and patience were appreciated every step of the way. Nicole was also a wealth of information and always available to answer questions and assist us. There is no way we could have navigated this process without Paul and Nicole!

I chose Hurley Elder Care based on all the positive customer reviews and I am so glad I chose them. They are experts in their field and made the Medicaid process stress-free. Prior to partnering with Hurley Elder Care I wasn't getting much sleep due to all the unknown. Kaila Crowder and Nicole Lott were amazing! They were there every step of the way and now my grandma is on Medicaid! I highly recommend Hurley Elder Care! Also, if I were to look back at the top decisions I have made in my lifetime, partnering with Hurley Elder Care would make that list!!!

I make confident referrals to this law firm with great frequency. They know their industry and provide excellent service. I’ve personally been to one of the training seminars that Miles led and gained a great deal of understanding of stage of life preparedness. Excellent law firm!

This is the 2nd time I have used Hurley Elder Care Law firm. They are a very professional group. You get a free one hour meeting to discuss your needs, and then decide whether or not they can help you. They are expensive, but very efficient. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! Because of their expertise and no nonsense approach, we more than covered their fees in what we saved by securing the benefits we sought in very short order. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend their services. The best! Worth every penny!
