Resources & information for Elder Law and Estate Planning

  I want to take this opportunity to recognize the Farr Law Firm for the assistance they provided me and my sister while we were dealing with the anxiety and emotions that came with placing our dad in a nursing facility. The team's patience and coaching were invaluable and much appreciated. You cannot go at this alone, let the professionals handle the heavy lifting while you spend valuable time that you cannot get back with your Mom, Dad or loved one. I found this quote that seemed fitting for the relationship we had with the Farr Law team..... “If I could sit on a porch across from God, I’d thank him for lending us you”.

  The Farr Law Firm has assisted not only myself, but many of my clients seeking Asset Protection and Medicaid compliance in order to stave off costly Probate and Long-term care costs.

His advice can virtually eliminate Probate costs when his methodology is followed!

  Excellent Law Firm! Very Professional! Mr. Evan Farr is very friendly and very knowledgeable!

  We have been using Evan Farr in Fairfax for 20 years. He is thorough and every attorney in his office is super competent and dedicated to making sure that your living will/trust reflects your individual needs. It is a comprehensive process...they make you think about more than who you want to manage your money and when your children can get access to it. You are asked to think about the circumstances regarding when your loved ones should consider a nursing home, if any. You must think about who you want to make health care decisions for you if you cannot make them yourself. You must state your DNR instructions. You must think about autopsies and organ donation to name a VERY FEW. They give advice about who to list as beneficiaries for all types of assets. There are so many considerations that you must ponder so that your loved ones are not left with the burden of making these decisions. IT IS HARD AND SHOULD BE. It is a collaborative process. It is not boilerplate. And more importantly, it is not a ONE and DONE decision. Through the years your wishes may change as will your tax situation and the people you chose as trustees and guardians. The Farr legal team has been with us through all of these times. They are able to make legal mumbo jumbo understandable and relatable and they welcome questions. At the end, you will feel satisfied that every situation and issue has been considered. I am so thankful that we found them.

  As the owner of three licensed assisted living communities in Virginia, I receive and read a lot of newsletters from the elder care and the elder law community, and I can honestly say that I consider the Farr Law Firm newsletter to be the best of them all. They present timely, interesting, and well-written information that I generally find is not available from other sources. I would highly recommend anyone interested in elder care or elder law or estate planning to sign up for the Farr Law Firm’s incredibly helpful newsletter.

  Articles are informative with a wide range of topical issues facing seniors.

  The FARR Law Firm sells a comprehensive package of wills, medical directives, and powers-of-attorney. They have several offices based in Virginia mainly. Reps and even Mr. Farr are very responsive and provide good advice for the ageing community, in my case.

  There are very few email newsletters that I choose to receive weekly for more than a year. I continue subscribing to the newsletter from Farr Law Firm because it so often has information that helps me. Sometimes the help is for me or for one of my relatives. Sometimes it is for clients who contacted me about family mediation. The range of topics addressed and the quality of the information provided have been great.

  As a lawyer for over 50 years including 32 years as federal judge and now law professor in China, I have received the Evan Farr’s newsletter and referred the Farr Law Firm to many people. I have just recently met with Mr. Farr and retained him for my own estate planning and elder care advice. My experience has been excellent and he has truly validated all of my referrals to him.

  They are courteous to their clients and provide a very intuitive approach to whatever you are trying to accomplish. We went to them and they made sure our needs were thoroughly met. They do an outstanding job of following up with their clients, as well.

  The Farr Law Firm was very helpful in updating and adjusting the estate of my elderly mother. Everyone was patient and thorough throughout the process.

  As a legal colleague in the area of estate planning, I commend Attorney Evan Farr to Virginia residents with complex estate planning needs. Attorney Farr's erudition in matters involving wills, trusts, estates, and Medicaid asset protection planning is both wide and deep, and he has seen over his long career almost every conceivable estate planning puzzle that a person's life might present. I have read Attorney Farr's learned responses on Avvo.com for years, and have learned a lot from him myself. Put simply, Evan Farr is a credit to Commonwealth of Virginia and its estate planning bar.

  I am grateful to Evan and his team for their work on reversing the denial of my son's Medicaid case. I was pleased with their knowledge and expertise of what was needed to successfully handle my case. The fact that I had legal counsel representation made a huge difference in how Medicaid handled the final decision of our case. Connie was wonderful and very thorough and she and Evan kept the case moving expeditiously. I am so pleased with the outcome of this case for my son! I am also going to be working with Evan and his staff on getting legal guardianship for my son. I highly recommend the Farr Law Firm.

  A number of years ago my father passed away. Understanding there would be legal requirements ahead in dealing with my mother's situation, I conducted research on a law firm that caters to the elderly and had a good reputation. Hence, how I discovered the Farr Law Firm. All I can tell you with that this firm has produced when called upon and in a timely manner. In addition, our encounters have been friendly and professional in nature.

  After experiencing two unpleasant experiences with the medicaid qualification process with each of our mothers, we were referred to the Farr Law Firm by a neighbor to help US with an estate planning process that would best prepare US for the possibility that WE would one day have to enter a nursing home.

Evan's staff is well trained to help clients tailor their specific situations to achieve all the objectives outlined in the book. Everyone who helped us was very professional and competent. We would recommend the Farr Law Firm to anyone whose objectives are similar to ours.
