What Is Elder Law?

Elder law encompasses the legal issues that are unique to our aging population, including:

  • Long-term care planning: Proactive planning today can ensure your loved one qualifies for Medicaid assistance while protecting the assets they have worked so hard for. Without effective planning, long-term care can quickly wipe out a lifetime of savings.
  • Powers of attorney: Establishing powers of attorney allows someone to designate a trusted individual to pay bills and make other financial decisions when they are incapacitated.
  • Guardianship: If your loved one has become incapacitated and has not designated a power of attorney, we can help you establish a guardianship.
  • Elder abuse: Sadly, elders are often abused or taken advantage. We can help you take steps to prevent abuse and, if the unthinkable happens, take action against those responsible for the abuse or neglect of your loved one.

There is nothing more important than making sure these issues are addressed properly. If you are caring for a loved one, we understand this feels like a tremendous weight on your shoulders. We can help remove that burden and provide you with peace of mind about your loved one’s present and future.
