Protect Your Loved One When They’re Most Vulnerable

When a beloved family member begins to age or unexpectedly faces a serious health issue, such as a debilitating stroke, it’s completely natural to feel a sense of uncertainty about where to turn for the support they truly need. Whether the concern involves dementia, a physical disability, or the complexities of long-term care, your foremost desire is to ensure they receive the appropriate level of care—both in the present and as they navigate the future—even if circumstances arise that prevent you from advocating for them yourself.


Additionally, it's crucial to guard them against potential financial exploitation, deceptive scams, or undue pressure from individuals who may not have their best interests at heart. This is where experienced professionals like Merlaine Mosley come in. She works diligently with families in Ames and the surrounding area to develop clear, legally sound plans that not only help protect vulnerable loved ones but also ensure that their dignity and independence are preserved to the greatest extent possible.


If you're grappling with challenging questions about how best to care for an aging parent, spouse, or another cherished loved one, you don't have to navigate this difficult journey alone. Merlaine is here to guide you, helping you find a path forward that instills confidence and provides you with the peace of mind you deserve during such a critical time.

Maintain Their Dignity

Growing older or facing health challenges shouldn’t take away your loved one’s dignity or independence. Merlaine Mosley can help you explore your legal options and put the right documents in place to support your loved one’s well-being—while still giving them as much say in their care and decisions as possible.


Merlaine works closely with families to build plans that offer flexibility, protect personal wishes, and make the most of available resources—without putting unnecessary strain on the budget. The goal is to create a legal foundation that balances care, control, and peace of mind for everyone involved.


If you’re ready to take the next step in planning for a loved one’s future, schedule a time to meet with Merlaine in her Ames office.

Preserve Their Financial Assets

As people grow older, they can sometimes become more trusting—making them easier targets for scammers, aggressive salespeople, or even those within their own circle who don’t have good intentions. Merlaine Mosley helps families in Ames put legal protections in place—such as powers of attorney —to reduce the risk of financial harm and ensure that decisions are made by those who truly have their loved one’s best interests at heart.


She can also help set up a long-term care plan that protects a loved one’s ability to qualify for government benefits while preserving the assets they’ve worked a lifetime to build.


Taking steps now can help you feel more confident about the road ahead. Reach out to schedule a meeting and start building a plan that protects what matters.
