The Evidence
The 'Elder Law Resources' page — featured in the primary navigation, designed as a client resource hub — offers three downloadable guides. Clicking any of the three download links returns: 404 Not Found. The PDFs were hosted on a decommissioned server from a 2022 migration. The links were never updated.
The “Elder Law Resources” page at mosterulrich.com is listed in the primary navigation and featured as a client-facing resource hub. It promises three downloadable guides covering the topics this firm is known for. Clicking any of the three download links returns:
Medicaid Planning for Indiana Families — 404 Not Found
Understanding VA Benefits for Veterans in Indiana — 404 Not Found
Special Needs Trust Planning Checklist — 404 Not Found
All three PDFs were hosted on the firm's old web server, which was decommissioned in 2022. The links were never updated. A family member in the middle of a care crisis who navigates to “Elder Law Resources” looking for real guidance finds three broken links and nothing else.
The Firm
Moster Ulrich Elder Law has been serving Evansville and the southwestern Indiana region since 2001. Twenty-five years of practice in Medicaid planning, nursing home asset protection, VA benefits, special needs trusts, guardianship, and estate planning — with a 4.9-star rating across 51 Google reviews that reflects deep client trust.
Elder law clients are in a different emotional state than most legal clients. A family navigating a parent's nursing home admission, Medicaid application, or guardianship proceeding is often in crisis mode. They arrive at the “Resources” page hoping for a guide — something concrete and actionable they can use right now. They get three dead links.
What We Found
A resource page built to generate trust and demonstrate expertise that has been silently broken for four years — and a hosting migration that was never followed through to the content that depended on it.
All Three PDFs Are Hosted on a Decommissioned Server
When the firm migrated to a new hosting provider in 2022, the PDF files were not transferred. The HTML page still contains the original server paths — none of which exist on the current host. Every download link on the Elder Law Resources page has been broken for at least four years.
The page itself renders fine. The navigation links to it. It looks like a complete, functional page until you try to download anything.
The Resource Page Is Indexed and Driving Organic Traffic
The elder law guide pages rank in Google searches for Medicaid planning and VA benefits in southwestern Indiana. Organic visitors are arriving at the page specifically to download these guides. Those visitors — often families in active care situations — find nothing. The traffic is real. The content is gone.
Expertise Without Evidence Is Just a Claim
A downloadable Medicaid planning guide isn't just a resource — it's a proof point. It demonstrates that the firm knows the subject well enough to explain it. A resource page where the resources don't exist is a missed opportunity to convert a research-mode visitor into a consultation request.
What We'd Build
An Evansville elder law website where the resource library works — and where families in crisis find substantive, current guidance that establishes trust before they pick up the phone.
A Working Resource Library
Updated, hosted, and verified guides on Medicaid planning, VA benefits for Indiana veterans, and special needs trust planning. PDF downloads that actually download. A resource page that earns the trust it was designed to generate — with current law, current links, and content that speaks to the families this firm serves.
“25 Years of Indiana Elder Law”
A quarter-century of practice in Medicaid, VA benefits, and special needs planning is a genuine differentiator in the Evansville market. A hero section that leads with that tenure — and the specific services that tenure represents — positions this firm against newer competitors who can't make the same claim.
Crisis-Ready Contact Paths
Elder law clients often call in the middle of a situation — a parent just moved to memory care, an asset limit is being calculated, a guardianship filing is urgent. A clear, prominent phone number, same-day contact promise, and a short intake form that captures what's happening right now converts the motivated visitor into a call.
Spec Redesign Deliverables
- ✓Working resource library — all three guides restored, verified, and hosted correctly
- ✓“25 Years of Indiana Elder Law” hero — tenure and specialization as the primary trust signal
- ✓Service pages for Medicaid planning, nursing home asset protection, VA benefits, and special needs trusts
- ✓Crisis-ready contact — prominent phone, short intake form, same-day response expectation
- ✓4.9-star review integration — 51 reviews deserve to be front-and-center on a trust-critical site
The Opportunity
Moster Ulrich Elder Law has 25 years of Evansville elder law practice, a near-perfect 4.9-star rating, and a resource page that organic search is actively driving traffic to. That traffic is arriving at a page built to demonstrate expertise — and finding three dead links.
A family member who navigated to that resource page was ready to trust this firm. They left empty-handed. That cost repeats every time a search engine sends someone there.
A 25-year elder law practice deserves a website that matches the depth of expertise the firm has actually built — not a resource page that promises guidance and delivers nothing.
