How to Not Go Broke in a Nursing Home...Even If You Think It’s Too Late

Meet The Attorneys

Founded by a young First Lieutenant newly discharged from the Army in December of 1974, Beck, Lenox & Stolzer started originally as Beck & Associates. Now Beck, Lenox & Stolzer, the firm’s focus is on you, your family, and your aging loved ones.

We strive not only to help families in need, but veterans in need as well. Accredited with the VA, we want to make sure all veterans have all the resources available to them.

The Challenges Families Face

Many of our clients come to us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. You might be facing challenges like:

  • Putting off your estate plan knowing it’s important, but not finding the right time to start.
  • Caring for an aging parent and worrying about how to pay for long-term care or qualify for Medicaid
  • Supporting a loved one with special needs and wanting to make sure they’re protected long after you’re gone.
  • Serving as an executor and feeling lost in the probate process after the loss of a loved one.
  • Fearing family conflict or costly mistakes if the right plan isn’t in place.
  • Feeling overwhelmed by complex laws and unsure which steps to take first.

At Beck, Lenox & Stolzer, we understand how stressful these situations can be — and we’re here to guide you through them with clarity, compassion, and decades of proven experience.

We would like to thank Matt, Deanna, and the entire Staff for their help and expertise with my Mom. The entire process was handled so professionally and thoroughly. Every detail was covered perfectly. Matt took great care to listen and provide excellent advice and guidance. His communication, along with the staff, was exemplary. From the moment I called and met with Matt, I knew we were in the right place to help my Mom. As a daughter and client, that is priceless. To Matt, and everyone at Beck, Lenox, and Stolzer, thank you for providing such knowledgeable, kind, and trusted care to families. You truly set the bar for excellence and are very much appreciated! Best always~ Kit Fix and Family

Matthew Fuhr handled a restatement of our Trust, with additional documents, on a VERY short deadline. My wife and I were heading out of the country and wanted to have our affairs in order before the trip. We weren't disappointed! This was our first encounter with the firm. It was truly a pleasure dealing with their responsive staff.

Caroline Stolzer is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and understanding! She quickly prepared our new estate planning documents per our wishes, and facilitated needed modifications to our asset re-identification etc. We couldn’t be more pleased with her performance!

Amazing customer service throughout the trust process for my parents. After the process was started, the paperwork had to be updated to show a single trust instead of a joint trust due to Mom passing away. The entire staff is professional in handling all of the questions my parents had as well as a few from me. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

I highly recommend Beck, Lenox & Stolzer for all your estate planning needs. They are extremely professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I first learned about them from McGraw Milhaven on KTRS (550 AM). Rudy Beck helped him with his mother's estate and he had a wonderful experience. Rudy Beck was a guest on his show a few times and I was very impressed with him, so decided to make an appointment to get my own estate taken care of. I was assigned to Caroline Stolzer, and she was so fantastic to work with. She's very knowledgeable, explains things thoroughly and is very kind and patient. She made setting up a trust pleasant and easy. I'm very lucky to have found her.
