Her law practice is concentrated in elder law (including but not limited to probate, estate planning and nursing home planning), as well as landlord/tenant matters for both commercial and residential landlords. As part of this practice, Attorney Kapiskas will assist her clients in developing plans to deal with their eventual declining health and demise. She can assist clients in making the decision in advance as to who will assist them in handling their financial and health care matters through the drafting of powers of attorney and trusts. She will explain the process of being admitted to and determining how to pay for a nursing home while advising clients as to the various ways to shelter their assets legally from the costs of long term care in a nursing home.
