What is elder law?

In general, elder law attorneys focus on the legal needs of the elderly, and work with a variety of legal tools and techniques to meet the goals and objectives of the older client. These matters include general estate planning issues and counsel to clients about planning for incapacity with alternative decision-making documents.

The elder law attorney may also assist clients in planning for possible long-term care needs, including nursing home care. The responsibilities of locating the appropriate type of care, coordinating private and public resources to finance the cost of care, and working to ensure the client's right to quality care are all part of the elder law practice.

Plan now to avoid worry later

Establishing a clear understanding of what the future holds relieves everyone involved of the stress and confusion that can occur when these decisions are left unsettled. Some common questions we can help resolve include:

• How can I protect my assets against nursing home expenses?
• How can I ensure the people I designate inherit my assets, even in divorce or second marriage situations?
• Is there a way to minimize or eliminate my family's federal estate tax burden?
• Can I ensure the people I choose are responsible for making medical decisions for me if I become incapacitated to do so?
• Are there ways I can help preserve family harmony when it comes to my estate planning?

The difficult questions that come with aging can be tackled early and effectively with our help. Rest easy knowing your future and your family's future is in experienced and qualified hands.
