“Working with Dawn and Joe at Markell Estate Planning & Elder Law was a satisfying experience. My legal matters were taken care of in a professional, timely and cost effective manner. I’ve already passed their names on to a few other people I know.”

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.
