Wondering how to protect your assets?<br />

The Law Office of Julie Low can help<br />

The Law Office of Julie Low practices exclusively<br />

in estate planning and administration, elder law,<br />

and special needs planning.<br />

The firm designs customized, comprehensive<br />

will-based and trust-based estate plans to meet<br />

each client’s unique needs. Whether your goal is<br />

to protect assets from future long-term care costs,<br />

minimize estate taxes and administration fees,<br />

ensure a legacy for your descendants, provide<br />

for your needs in the event of incapacity, or protect<br />

and provide for a family member with special<br />

needs, the Law Office of Julie Low can design an<br />

estate plan that meets your objectives.<br />

Attorney Low opened her Beverly-based firm because<br />

she had a vision for the way law should be<br />

practiced — with a focus on the client instead of<br />

billable hours.<br />

She believes in creating an inviting, personable<br />

atmosphere where clients feel comfortable discussing<br />

very personal subjects. Attorney Low fully engages<br />

her clients in the design process, educating<br />

and guiding them to make informed decisions. The<br />

end result is a comprehensive plan clients understand,<br />

rather than a set of documents that have<br />

little personal meaning.<br />

The firm charges fixed prices instead of traditional<br />

hourly rates for estate planning. Ms. Low<br />

believes clients appreciate knowing the cost of services<br />

up-front and the open communication such<br />

an approach fosters.<br />

Client meetings are centered around important<br />

issues — not the clock — and are handled with a<br />

touch of lightheartedness, when appropriate, "because<br />

contemplating disability, incapacity or death<br />

is not a delightful or pleasant experience for most."<br />

Clients are invited to contact Julie, or a team<br />

member, with questions, without worrying about<br />

being billed for extra time. Daytime, as well as evening<br />

meetings, are available by appointment.<br />

One of the firm’s specialties is the creation of<br />

Long-Term Care Plans to help clients navigate<br />

the complicated regulations of Medicaid, Veterans<br />

Benefits, and other government programs.<br />

Because Julie is knowledgeable in planning for<br />

both types of Medicaid (traditional nursing home<br />

and the lesser known, but unbelievably beneficial,<br />

community programs), she reviews her clients’ options<br />

with an eye to all programs to ensure each<br />

plan provides later flexibility.<br />

In addition to being an accredited attorney with<br />

the Veteran’s Administration, Julie is a member of<br />

WealthCounsel, ElderCounsel, The National<br />

Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), ElderLaw<br />

Answers and The Academy of Special<br />

Needs Planners.<br />

She graduated cum laude from Western New<br />

England University School of Law.<br />

In her free time, Julie volunteers with North<br />

Shore Elder Services’ Money Management Program,<br />

assisting local seniors with paying bills and<br />

budgeting, and on Northeast ARC’s Human Rights<br />

Committee.<br />

The Law Office of Julie Low provides complimentary<br />

workshops on the basics of Estate Planning<br />

and Long Term Care.<br />

In conjunction with a local Geriatric Care Manager,<br />

Julie has also produced a free and informative<br />

guide for navigating Long Term Care on the<br />

North Shore.<br />
