Though it is a relatively new and specialized field, Elder Law is very important to American society today, as the fastest growing segment of our population is the elderly. Elder law focuses on the issues faced by the elderly, protecting them, and providing them with the services that they need. As such, it involves elements of Estate Planning, Wills and Trusts, Conservatorship, Health Care Planning and Medicare/Medicaid Planning.
Elder law attorneys are well-versed in estate planning, and understand the nuances of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills and estate taxes. They can provide the elderly with unbiased guidance in the areas of financial organization and can recommend accounting services, financial planners or insurance purchases.
