Elder Law

Elder Law is an area of the law that advocates for the elderly and their loved ones. It handles a wide range of legal matters affecting an older or disabled person, including issues related to their health care, long term care planning, guardianship, retirement, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and other important matters.

In addition, effective estate planning also includes “life” planning through powers of attorney and health care proxies, which enable someone to act on your behalf in the event of your incapacity while you are still alive.
