Growing old is a part of life – and it can be a very beautiful and meaningful chapter. Planning ahead and nimbly navigating the legal aspects of aging can make it more fulfilling by avoiding unexpected setbacks.

We are a firm that stands on a strong reputation for providing quality elder law services since 1994.

What Exactly Is Elder Law?

Elder law refers to the many varied legal considerations that go along with growing old, including:

  • Estate planning, including making revisions to an existing estate plan to ensure that it’s up to date, particularly with regard to powers of attorney and advance directives
  • Guardianships and conservatorships, which may become necessary when an elderly loved one becomes incapacitated and unable to care for themselves or their affairs
  • Long-term care planning, which anticipates and prepares for the costs of care, including planning for Medicaid eligibility when appropriate

Our attorneys are very familiar with the nuances of these and other elder law concerns.

Why Do You Need An Elder Law Attorney?

Legal concerns relating to elder law can have a major impact on your elderly loved one’s life. They affect their living situation, medical care, finances and decision-making ability.
