What is Elder Care Law & Planning?
Elder law deals with the legal, financial, and health needs of senior citizens. The country’s average age is advancing all the time, and now even baby-boomers are dealing with health issues and legal concerns they had not anticipated. Estate planning is part of the elder law field, but elder law lawyers also help with preparing for long-term health care needs, applying for government programs, addressing financial fraud, and combating physical abuse of the elderly. Attorneys can also assist in establishing guardianships and conservatorships when needed. A competent and experienced estate planning lawyer should be consulted on these issues.
