Practice Summary

Elder law is a specialized area of law practice that focuses on issues facing people who are advancing in age or who want to plan for their elder years and end-of-life care. Elder law attorneys perform a range of targeted services. They create estate plans that preserve wealth, establish trusts to provide security and income for family members with special needs, draft legal instruments to shield assets from estate and other taxes, help to ensure eligibility for Medicaid, and guarantee property and other assets are distributed precisely as their client instructs.
