Elder Law focuses on legal issues relating to people over the age of 55 and their families. Elder Law seeks to provide each client with the education and information necessary to understand the ever-growing complex issues and process of "growing older" in America.
Through the preparation of appropriate legal documents,
options and choices become available to the individual or family
to manage future age-related mental or physical disabilities.
The Websters Dictionary describes Aging as "the mental and physical changes that occur as we grow older." Attorneys who practice in the field of Elder Law frequently work with professionals in the fields of medicine, social work, long term care, and finance to maximize the client's options. The attorney works closely with these other professionals to meet the changing needs of the client.
The information provided here is for seniors and their families to aid them in a better understanding of the field of Elder Law.
