Elder Law
Elder law is an interdisciplinary field of law, in which our attorneys consider issues affecting aging clients when advising about other areas of law. Our attorneys consider the effects of age and possible incapacity, along with the need for in-home, assisted living, and long-term care in creating wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and advanced directive documents.
One of the most common uses of elder law attorneys is to assist in planning to cover the cost of long-term care by helping clients become eligible for Medicaid. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program that helps pay for certain services for needy and low-income individuals. If medical and financial eligibility standards are met, Medicaid assistance may be available for long term care assistance.
Our elder law attorneys can help to address the overall picture involved in dealing with the legal aspects of aging and provide peace of mind to clients and their families.
