Elder Law is a holistic approach to the unique legal needs of our older clients. It incorporates not only traditional estate planning and trust administration, such as drafting wills, trusts and advising on tax matters, but also includes the analysis and planning for government benefits such as Medicaid, Medicare and Veteran’s benefits. There is a particular focus on planning for long term care, which includes not only the use of these government benefits, but also identifying and advocating for housing, social and other financial needs. Lastly, an elder law attorney works with families to determine who should be making important decisions for the senior and assists with the execution of advanced directives, such as Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies or guardianships, as appropriate for the individual situation.
