ELDER LAW

Rather than being defined by technical legal distinctions, elder law is defined by the client to be served. In other words, the lawyer who practices elder law may handle a range of issues but has a specific type of clients - seniors.

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.

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL NEEDS OF THE ELDERLY?

  • Estate planning and probate
    •      		     
  • Health care quality issues
    •
  • Durable Powers of Attorney
    •      		     
  • Elder abuse, neglect and exploitation
    •
  • Wills and Trusts
    •      		     
  • Age discrimination
    •
  • Health care decisions
    •      		     
  • Financing long-term care
    •
  • Guardianship and conservatorship
    •
