Elder Law
Elder law is a relatively new area of law that focuses on planning for aging and its legal
aspects. For example, changes in the already complicated federal Medicaid and Medicare laws
can be confusing to individuals and families who are trying to plan for the future. We offer the
following services in this area:
- Medicaid counseling and preparation of application
- Medicare counseling
- Elderly housing options
- Powers of attorney
- Advance Medical Directives (“living wills”)
- Wills and estate issues
In addition to the above services, in special circumstances, we can travel to your home for
consultations for those who are immobile or schedule late appointments for those who
commute. Please feel free to browse the following links below.
