Cornelius and Talley, PC

Cornelius and Talley, PC, handles Elder Law and Special Needs in Alabama. This entails the areas affecting senior citizens, families, and children and adults with special needs. Our team brings a combined legal experience of up to 50 years. We provide consultations to families that present issues around protecting personal assets and businesses, paying for nursing homes and long-term care, guardianships or conservatorships of elders, power of attorney, living wills, health directives, involuntary engagements, probate estates, and litigation when needed. We also help with the process of probate. When a Last Will & Testament has been executed, most estates will need probate or opening an estate. Probate is a court proceeding where the will is given legal validity and effect. The terms of the will are then carried out as specified under state law. However, applying for probate is complex, and when an individual dies without a valid will, they are said to have died intestate. In this case, an administrative petition is filed with the probate court, making the lawfully complex process even more technical. This process requires the expertise of an experienced attorney, especially when there are disputes concerning the deceased's property and assets (Cornelius and Talley, L.L.C., n.d.).

The reviews for the firm and individual attorneys focus on the lawyers' kindness and expertise in handling issues involving elderly relatives. Clients appreciate the firms', as well as Bob Cornelious's, experts in handling and reaching their objectives. Some clients also commend Bob Cornelious's compassion and his ability to establish a personal connection, which produces kindness and a willingness to go above the call of duty. In all, the feedback lauds the firm and individual attorneys for being responsible, knowledgeable, caring, and providing excellent advice; they highly recommend these experts to others concerned about their special needs children.
