For Who?

You Don’t Need to Know
What Kind of Plan You Need.

We help families throughout Georgia protect what they’ve built, prepare for long-term care, and make sure the people they love are protected.

Most families recognize the problem before they know the solution. Maybe something in your life has changed, you’re thinking about protecting what you’ve built, or someone you love needs care.

Start with the situation that sounds most like yours.

Start with what brought you here.

I NEED TO GET MY ESTATE PLAN IN ORDER

I don’t have a plan, mine may be outdated, or something in my life has changed.

This may sound like you if:

I WANT TO PROTECT WHAT I'VE BUILT

I have property, a business, or significant assets and want to make sure they’re protected and pass the way i intend.

This may sound like you if:

I'M THINKING ABOUT LONG-TERM CARE

No one needs nursing-home care right now, but I’m concerned about what future care could mean for my family and assets.

You may be thinking:

SOMEONE NEEDS CARE NOW

You or someone you love is already in a nursing home- pr may need nursing-home care within the next 30 days.

You may be worried about Medicaid eligibility, spending down assets, paperwork, or how quickly you need to act.

Every Family Looks a Little Different.

You may recognize yourself in more than one of these situations. That's normal.
Your plan should account for the whole picture - not force you into one category.

1. No Plan or Outdated Plan

You either never created an estate plan, or the one you have no longer reflects your life. Maybe you’ve bought property, changed jobs, gotten married, had kids, or watched your finances and priorities evolve. You know it’s probably time to take another look—you’re just not sure what needs to change or where to start.

2. Real Estate Owners

You own multiple properties. You’re not entirely sure how they’re positioned for taxes, and you’re worried about what happens to them for your heirs. You want clarity on whether you’re set up right.

3. Families Facing Medicaid and Nursing Home Costs

You or a loved one is already in a nursing home, or it’s happening within the next few weeks. You’re terrified about what happens to your assets. You’ve heard stories about spending down everything before Medicaid kicks in, and you don’t know if there’s a way to protect what you’ve built. You need someone who understands the rules and can move fast.

4. Recently Moved to Georgia

You just moved to Georgia, and you’re realizing your estate plan was created under another state’s laws. You’re not sure what still works, what may need to change, or whether anything needs to be updated. You want to know your plan will work the way you intended now that Georgia is home.

5. Business Owners

You’ve built something. Now you’re thinking about what happens to it when you’re gone, or if something happens to you tomorrow. You want to protect the business you’ve spent years building and make sure the transition is smooth for whoever comes next.

6. Planning Ahead and Making Things Easier for Your Children

You’ve built a good life. You’re retired or close to it, and you’re thinking clearly about what happens when you’re gone. You don’t want your kids scrambling to figure out your finances, your properties, or your wishes. You want to hand them something clean and organized, not a mess they have to untangle.

7. Blended Families

You have kids from different relationships. You care about each of them, and you want to make sure they’re treated fairly. But you’re not sure how to structure everything without creating conflict or hurt feelings down the line.

8. Inheriting Wealth or Receiving a Windfall

You came into money—an inheritance, a business sale, a settlement. Now you’re thinking about what to do with it. You want to protect it, use it wisely, and set up your own children for success without creating entitlement or family conflict.

9. Planning Ahead for Long-Term Care

You’re thinking five or maybe ten years out. You know you might need care someday, and you want to protect what you’ve built before that need arrives. You want to stay in control of your care decisions and keep your assets safe from being consumed by care costs.

10. Young Professionals with Dependents

You’re building your career, you have kids or a partner who depends on you, and you know that if something happened to you tomorrow, they’d be in trouble. You don’t need complex tax strategies yet. You need to make sure your children are cared for and your wishes are clear.

11. Small Business Owners Planning a Transition

You’ve built a business. You’re thinking about what happens to it—whether a family member takes over, you sell it, or something else entirely. You want clarity on how the transition works and how it’s taxed so your hard work pays off the way you intended.

12. Divorced or Separated Parents

You have children from a previous relationship, and you’re remarried or building a new life. You want to make sure your kids are protected and provided for, regardless of what happens to you. You need a plan that honors your commitments to everyone.

The Same Situation Doesn't Always Mean the Same Plan.

Two families can own the same amount of assets, have children the same age, and still need very different plans.

 

That’s why we begin with your situation—not a predetermined solution.

We get to know what matters most

Your Properties

We Identify What you want to protect and why.

Your Strategy

We design a plan built around your goals and concerns.

Your Plan

A Clear, Coordinated plan for today and tomorrow.

I chose Bascom law because the firm had been recommended to me by several friends. The process and experience of setting up a trust was much easier, with their help, than I expected. Mike and Brad Bascom are extremely efficient, professional and personable. They listened and answered our questions completely. Our goal was to simplify the process for our children at our death. I feel we have accomplished our objective and I now have peace of mind.

We have been using the Bascom‘s for our attorneys since we moved back to Georgia several years ago starting with our will. We recently decided to make some changes on our plans and came in to talk with them. They have done an outstanding job of coming up with exactly what we need and crafting documents to go with it. We’re very pleased with their service.

Working with Brad to prepare our family trust was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but Brad took the time to explain every detail, breaking down complex legal terms into clear, actionable steps. What stood out the most was how he listened to our specific family dynamics and goals before drafting the documents. The entire team was highly responsive, well-organized, and made the final signing process incredibly smooth. We walked out of the office with complete peace of mind, knowing our assets and our loved ones are protected.Highly recommend Brad and Bascom Law PC Estate Planning & Elder Care to anyone looking for expert estate planning!"

My wife and I came in with a long list of estate planning questions, and we left with answers to every single one. Hybrid trust structures, irrevocable trust mechanics, how our businesses get valued and placed, debt handling on transferred assets, 529 coordination, multiple trustees, health directives, life insurance integration. Nothing got brushed past. Nothing got oversimplified.

What stood out most was the thoroughness. We were treated like our situation mattered, not like a template to run through. Mike and Brad walked us through the trade-offs of each path, flagged things we didn’t know to ask about, and made sure we understood the “why” behind every recommendation.

We walked in with questions. We walked out with clarity, confidence, and a plan.

Across every law firm interaction I’ve had in my life, this one sits at the top. The depth of expertise is obvious. The communication is direct and easy to follow. The professionalism is consistent from the first call to the last handoff. My wife and I both feel comfortable, informed, and well-represented.

If you’re navigating estate planning, trusts, or anything that touches your family’s long-term wealth, this is the team you want in your corner. Five stars without hesitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We had a wonderful experience working with this law firm for our estate planning. They were incredibly thorough, friendly, and made what could have felt like a daunting process feel manageable and straightforward. Every question was answered with patience and care, and we truly felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable and compassionate legal guidance.

Thanks Mike & Brad
My wife and I met with Brad Bascom for our very first estate plan. Brad and his father, Mike, put together a plan that met our goals and clearly explained each step of the estate planning process. Brad and Mike were very well versed in the estate laws aa well as areas of our planning that we never thought about. The staff far exceeded our expectations and was very easy to work with. We would highly recommend Bascom Law PC for your estate planning needs.
Thank you to all the staff of Bascom Law PC.
