Brumbaugh Law Firm

Brumbaugh Law Firm is an elder law and estate planning law firm in Sandusky, OH, committed to guiding individuals and families through the complex legal challenges that come with aging, asset protection, and future planning. Elder law is a specialized practice area that addresses the unique needs of seniors by combining long-term care planning, Medicaid strategies, and estate preservation. Our goal is to help clients protect their savings, preserve their homes, and maintain independence for as long as possible, all while ensuring loved ones are supported and cared for.

We believe proactive planning can prevent unnecessary financial hardship. According to the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, transferring assets to an irrevocable trust within five years of applying for Medicaid can create penalties, which is why planning must be done in advance. In addition, according to the Social Security Administration, special-needs trusts can be used in certain cases to protect assets for a disabled individual without triggering Medicaid penalties, making them a critical tool for some families. With the right approach, it is possible to avoid the devastating costs of nursing home care without selling your home, depleting your life savings, or leaving a spouse without resources—while still leaving a meaningful legacy for future generations.

At Brumbaugh Law Firm, we combine individualized legal services with free educational seminars to give clients the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions. Whether the focus is minimizing probate expenses, planning for long-term care, or safeguarding family wealth, our holistic approach ensures every plan is tailored to each client’s goals. We believe that informed choices made today create stability, security, and peace of mind for tomorrow.
