Elder Law
Elder law is an area of legal practice that focuses on issues affecting seniors and their families. Older individuals have a wide range of specific legal needs ranging from the preparation of legal documents to estate planning.
As individuals age, caregivers and families often seek legal advice on the complex issues seniors face such as:
- Planning and paying for long-term health care and senior housing.
- Eligibility and the application process for government benefits such as Social Security, and veterans benefits.
- Eligibility and the application process of Medicare and Medicaid.
- The preparation of legal documents such as advance healthcare directives (living will) and Power of Attorney (POA).
- The preparation of a petition for guardianship.
- Estate planning through the creation of a last will and testament and trust documents.
