Working as an estate and Medicaid planning attorney has always been near and dear to Attorney Fay’s heart. Her grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the early age of 57. As a child, Attorney Fay was unable to help her family through the emotional and financial complexities involved in estate and Medicaid planning. As the family was unprepared for such a situation, she watched as her grandmother and grandfather lost their hard-earned assets one month at a time during her grandmother’s 14-year stay in a nursing home. Her grandfather worked hard to care for his wife, but failed to take care of his health and died early, at age 63. This left the family to continue caring for the living spouse.. After watching the experience of her own family, Attorney Fay found her niche in estate and Medicaid planning, knowing she could do for others what she could not do for her own family. Today, Attorney Fay takes every opportunity to guide others through what can often be the most difficult time in their lives. Through community outreach and education, she hopes that fewer and fewer individuals will find themselves in such a difficult situation during their golden years.
