Elder Law
Aging is a fact of life. Unfortunately, most people never plan their lives to encompass the realities of living into their seventies, eighties and beyond. Much of the time, the families of the elder person are left attempting to "plan" for the elder person after the fact. By then, the options are often limited, fall short of a good solution, and can be expensive. That is why the attorneys at Troiano & Roberts, P.A. encourage all of our clients to look at their present situation and try to assist with a plan to take care of elder issues before they arise. We are experienced with estate planning techniques, health and personal care planning, fiduciary representation, financial planning, housing ownership, long term care planning and Medicaid qualification, Veteran’s assistance, income trusts, asset and income protection, and a host of other elder issues. This area of law is constantly changing and we try to ensure that our attorneys remain completely up to date with the changing laws so that we can better advise our clients. At Troiano & Roberts, P.A. we think that our seniors are a precious family asset and our firm will work with them and their families to best insure the most successful transition into the elder’s “golden” years.

Eminent Domain
Whether referred to as Eminent Domain, Condemnation or Government Taking, they all involve the same result - the government taking your property against your will. Although the government has the right to take your property, they can only do so to satisfy a public purpose and they must pay you fair compensation for taking it. In most circumstances, the government entity that is taking the property is also responsible for paying your attorney fees.
At Troiano & Roberts, P.A. we understand the connection people have with their homes and property. If you become aware that your property may be taken, in whole or in part, we can help you understand your legal rights and assist you in obtaining the true value of your property. Let us fight for you and your property!
