“Knowing nothing about the legal side of elder care I reached out to them and everything was handled quickly and professionally. Joe and Dawn took time to meet with me in person to go over every question and option. During the time of this pandemic they resumed all communications through email, phone and zoom calls to keep things moving throughout the entire process. They have made this transition easier for me now as well as knowing they will be there when I need them in the future. THANK YOU BOTH!”

A Little About Us…
Markell Estate Planning & Elder Law is a full-service estate planning and elder law firm serving St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, and Warren counties.
We believe no one should have to face major life planning decisions alone. Our expertise in estate planning and elder law issues allows our clients to quickly and seamlessly pass their wealth/legacy to future generations in the most efficient way possible.
Our firm assists elderly clients and their families with Medicaid division of assets, Medicaid applications and Veterans Administration benefits to help pay for or supplement the expensive cost of long-term care. We work in concert with your existing financial advisor and accountant to make sure that you have the most up to date financial and healthcare directives in place should you become incapacitated and unable to make decisions.
Our strong community relationships are invaluable when you need advice on long term care living placements or in-home care recommendations.
