Elder Law Attorney

Elder law attorneys, through their practice, promote and protect the rights, health and economic well-being, and general welfare of older adults and people with disabilities. They offer legal help to meet these specific goals. Naturally, this includes developing strategies to protect against potential future incapacity, finding long-term care solutions, and qualify for government benefits.  Elder law also includes developing a plan for the  final disposition of your estate.

What Does Elder Law Include?

Elder law is a unique practice which draws on many other disciplines including probate law and estate planning to develop solutions to common problems that face every aging adult. To solve these problems, an attorney must be focused and experienced. The attorney must also be creative and compassionate. Our elder law attorney provides thoughtful and sensitive counsel to persons dealing with mental health issues and disorders, developmental disabilities, and the elderly. Our attorney can assist you with:

Estate planning 

Preparing an estate plan is the first step to make sure you and your loved one’s are protected. Our firm can help you establish wills, trusts, financial and medical powers of attorney. We can also help update your existing estate planning documents.
