WHY DO I NEED AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY?

Attorneys who concentrate their practices in Elder Law, focus on providing legal services–primarily to senior citizens and others who are looking to plan for their lives as they age.

• Elder Law attorneys work closely with families dealing with the onset of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
• Elder law attorneys also work with families with disabled children and family members with illnesses and legal issues.

• Understand that there are often emotional and legal details that need to be addressed when dealing with chronic illnesses, medical emergencies, and end-of-life planning.

  •  The importance of wills and trusts.
  • Probate proceedings and the disposition of your assets.
  • Planning for a minor or adult with special needs.
