Elder Law is a rapidly growing area of the law which is commonly misunderstood. While the typical Elder Law client is frequently a senior citizen, the practice of Elder Law includes individuals of any age undergoing chronic or serious illness or disability.
Creating a Plan for Long Term Health Care
Elder law attorneys can be an invaluable resource for many reasons, including their ability to create a Long Term Care. Plan Elder Law Attorneys commonly work with individuals suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions including:
- Stroke
- Alzheimer’s Disease
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Dementia
Elder Law Attorneys Provide Financial Strategies
In addition to providing a long term health care plan, the Elder Law Attorney provides asset protection advice for Medical Assistance candidates. Assets may be gifted or perhaps retitled to allow an individual to remain eligible for medical assistance. Proper Medicaid planning such as the establishment of trusts may also help clients save taxes. Elder law attorneys may also provide beneficial advice regarding social security and other retirement or veterans’ benefits.
