We are so proud of our own Shannon Laymon-Pecoraro, CELA!

Today, Shannon presented at the Virginia State Bar's Annual Conference on a topic that hits close to home for so many families — avoiding Bankruptcy during periods of chronic illness. Shannon's segment focused on using Medicaid as an alternative.

This is exactly the kind of work that reminds us why we do what we do. Helping real people find real solutions during some of the hardest seasons of their lives.

Congratulations, Shannon — we couldn't be more proud!

❓ FAQ Friday: "Do I really need a will if I don't have much?"

The answer is YES — and here's why: Without a will, Virginia law decides who gets your belongings, who raises your children, and who makes decisions on your behalf. A will gives YOU that control, no matter how big or small your estate. A proper plan protects the people you love — not just your assets.

Let us help you get it right. 📞 (757) 734-7584 | eastcoast-elderlaw.com

A fiduciary is more than just someone you appoint—it’s someone legally bound to act with loyalty, care, and transparency on your behalf.

In estate planning, this role can include managing finances, making healthcare decisions, or ensuring your wishes are carried out exactly as intended. Choosing the right fiduciary is essential to protecting both your future and your peace of mind.

Shannon Laymon-Pecoraro is at the the NAELA Annual Meeting in Milwaukee this weekend.

NAELA (the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys) is where elder law practitioners from across the country gather to learn, connect, and sharpen their skills. It is always a reminder of why this work matters.

One of Shannon’s favorite moments of the day.. running into fellow Virginia Certified Elder Law Attorneys Robert Haley and Chris McCarthy at a national conference. The elder law community here in Virginia is strong — and it's wonderful to see that represented on a national stage.

An Advance Medical Directive allows you to clearly state your healthcare wishes and choose someone to speak on your behalf if you’re unable to communicate.

For individuals facing progressive conditions like ALS, having this document in place early ensures that your care reflects your values, preferences, and voice—every step of the way.

Planning ahead provides clarity, comfort, and support when it matters most.
