I'm curious if anyone has had any experience with local attorneys who's primary specialty is in the area of Florida Elder Law that they would recommend?

Like many of you, we're transplants form another state and would like to understand more about preplanning strategies and actions that are legally available to us now, in the event that one spouse ends up in a long term care situation down the road here in Florida.

We already have Florida wills, POA, etc...we do not have LT Care Insurance and we are not interested in having discussions on going that route presently.

Our objective is to make sure that the spouse that remains in 'the general community' has enough financial reserves / income to continue to live the life style that we'd want the other to have.

We've heard some sad stories of how failure to plan has left the spouse that remained in the general community cash poor due to the cost of nursing home care.
