Planning for incapacity is certainly an emotional challenge, but it’s simply about taking precautionary measures to ensure you and your family will be protected during a period of temporary or permanent incapacity.
If you currently provide care for a child or loved one with special needs (such as mental or physical disabilities), you must have contemplated what may happen to him or her when you are no longer able to serve as the caretaker.
For some members of our society, legal protection may be necessary even after they have entered adulthood. These individuals may have been injured in an accident, continue to suffer from an incapacitating physical illness or psychological disorder, or have some other condition that prevents them from caring for themselves.

We were in the midst of a difficult situation with no end in sight. Kathie provided a light at the end of the tunnel and guided us to that end. She is kind, knowledgeable, communicates effectively and we could not have gotten through it all without her.

Our family is very appreciative of Kathie’s efforts on our behalf. Kathie was adept at balancing hard legal advice with a compassionate sense for the very personal side of the issues. At no time did we feel the myriad of legal and regulatory matters overshadow her commitment to our mother and our family - a client-first perspective.

Kathie Roberts and her staff have been extremely helpful and knowledgeable navigating through the difficult process of a Veteran's Benefit for our mom. Kathie fought to get a benefit that our late father earned during his service in WWII. We would not have been successful without the relentless help and follow up by Kathie and her staff. Our family highly recommends Kathie Roberts and her staff for any legal issues regarding your elderly loved ones.
