Overview
The Law Office of Tonya R. Coles was established in August 2007. The office is located in the German Village neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio.
My practice is focused on elder law, estate planning and probate matters. In particular, I handle the following matters:
• ELDER LAW: Estate Planning; Medicare and Medicaid Planning; Grandparents Rights; Guardianships; Conservatorships; Family Business Succession Plans
• ESTATE PLANNING: Wills; Trusts; Advanced Health Care Directives; Powers of Attorney; End of Life Decision Making
• PROBATE: Estate Administration, Guardianships, Conservatorships
Example cases
Example One: A client recently visited my office because she had been informed that she would lose her Medicaid benefits within one week. She was distraught and felt that she had no options and nowhere to turn. She relied on her Medicaid benefits to survive financially. I was able to work with the client and her social worker to preserve her monthly benefits.
Example Two: A client retained me for estate planning services because she had been diagnosed with cancer and was expected to live only a few months. Prior to the client's death, I was able to help her structure an estate plan to pass her money and property to her loved ones. After the client's death, I was able to guide her family through the probate process.
