CAREGIVERS - Being a caregiver, particularly an unpaid one, is hard.  You have to balance your work and family with that of the needs of your parent or grandparent. 

• Home Health:  If you need home health for the person under your care, but are unsure what kind, how to pay for it and what agency to use, Family Matters can help.
• Senior Housing Placement:  If your mother, father, grandmother or grandfather has to move to senior housing, Family Matters can help find the right residence given the needs of your relative. 
• Available Benefits:  If you think your parent or grandparent may qualify for additional benefits, we can help.  We can search every Federal, State or Local benefit for which that person may be eligible.  This includes hard to find Veteran's benefits and benefits for lower income seniors.
• Financial and Personal Research and Organization:  Family Matters can help you sort out the financial and personal information for the senior under your care.  This will ensure your peace of mind because you will know where things are, what assets are available and how to pay for services.
• Other Services:  Family Matters has assembled deep expertise and a large referral base in areas such as reverse mortgages, long term care insurance, estate planning, medicaid planning and many other areas.  A free consultation can point you in the right direction!

PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND EXECUTORS - Managing an estate is a difficult job, particularly if the death was sudden or unplanned.  It's tough to balance your own work and family life while faithfully executing your duties as a personal representative or executor. 

• Probate: The probate process requires an inventory of assets and other documentation that we provide.  
• Frustration:  Sorting paperwork, calling the government, banks, insurance companies, credit card companies, utilities, memberships and other organizations takes time and patience.  Family Matters can take that burden off your hands.
• Assets: We search for lost property, old life insurance companies, lost bonds and employer benefits.  We help you replace lost titles and lost stock certificates. We perform many tasks that the average person doesn't even know about.  
• Time:  It takes an average of six months to one year to settle an estate.  We can help you settle all matters in just a few months.
• Value: We take steps to prevent credit fraud and deceased identity theft.  Our report may significantly reduce attorney costs associated with probate because the information needed is already researched, organized and documented.  In addition, our services are a legitimate expense of the estate.
• Convenience: We just need a few hours of your time and our services are usually completed in a few weeks.
• Professional Service:  Our work is performed to the highest standards of integrity and confidentiality by well-trained professionals. 

FAMILIES - Prepare for a transition to save your family time, frustration and money.

• Beneficiaries:  We can help you make sure your beneficiary information is up to date and clearly documented.
• Documentation:  Don't make your family search for important documents or wade through mountains of paperwork to find out who your cable company is.
• Bureaucracy:  Don't put your loved ones through the frustration of dealing with the government, the telephone company, credit card firms and insurance companies. Nobody enjoys waiting on hold, speaking to several customer service representatives and then finding out that they need to send in a written request.
• Organization: Help your family by giving them one point of reference for all important information regarding your insurance, assets, property titles, medical needs and final plans.
• Final Wishes:  Make your wishes known for senior care, estate distributions and charitable contributions.
• Preparation: Give your family a tremendous gift by organizing your affairs now.
