Estate Planning and Elder Law Attorneys Serving Ohio
Nobody can predict the future—but everyone can plan for it. The steps you take now can help to ensure that your future is a fulfillment of your most cherished dreams, not your worst fears. And you don’t have to take those steps toward a secure future by yourself.
At Gudorf Law Group, our estate planning and elder law attorneys have been helping Ohio individuals, families, farms, and businesses plan for the future since 1992. Our team includes attorneys who are board certified by the Ohio State Bar Association in Estate Planning, Trust, and Probate Law—a distinction that fewer than 200 attorneys in the entire state have achieved.
No matter what your circumstances, planning for the future will yield not only a better outcome in years to come, but greater peace of mind in the meantime. We have a nearly-unmatched depth of experience in estate law, asset protection, and elder law that enables us to help our clients navigate the most complex needs.
Let the caring, capable team at Gudorf Law Group partner with you to address your needs both today and in the years to come.

Elder Law Attorneys Helping with Nursing Home and Medicare Planning
At Gudorf Law Group, we regularly assist our older clients with their various legal needs, including planning for nursing home care. Many times our clients are planning ahead for the possibility that care will be needed in the future. However, sometimes we are called on for assistance by family members when there is a crisis or sudden need for the care of an adult.
We have extensive experience helping families protect loved ones and assets in both situations. Our elder law services also include help with Medicaid planning, veterans’ benefits, guardianships, and preventing elder abuse and exploitation.
Farm and Business Succession Planning
Your family farm is more than just a business; it’s your life’s work, and a legacy for your loved ones. But research shows that only about 30% of family-owned businesses survive into the second generation. If a family farm business does continue to thrive, it’s not by accident; it’s through careful, customized planning.
Gudorf Law Group has decades of experience helping farmers and business owners put succession plans in place to ensure a smooth transition, as well as helping families plan for equitable treatment for heirs who will continue to work on the farm and those who will not.
Asset Protection Planning
You have worked hard for what you have, and you want your wealth to benefit the people you love. Without proper planning, a lawsuit from a tragic car accident to professional malpractice could threaten those assets. You should consider asset protection planning if you have significant assets, you are a professional who could be sued for malpractice, you want to prevent your children from losing their inheritance, or you own a business where people on the premises could be at risk of injury.
Gudorf Law Group can help you put measures, like asset protection trusts and limited liability companies, in place to protect your assets from potential creditors.
