Elder law attorneys have experience in many different facets of estate planning law but focus specifically on helping elderly individuals and some of the challenges they may face in the process of aging. Elder law attorneys are often instrumental not just in helping individuals, but with family for exploring the best options for a loved one.
In some cases, loved ones may be turning to the assistance of an attorney once their family member has been diagnosed with dementia or another medical condition or debilitating illness. Elder law attorneys handle things such as Medicare appeals and claims, eligibility planning for long term care placements, preservation or transfer of assets, powers of attorney, wills, estate planning trusts, probate and conservatorship issues, and administration and management of trusts and estates.
