Elder Law

Elder law can be defined as “later life legal planning”. The elderly client has unique financial, physical and emotional concerns that demand customized and effective legal solutions.

Advances in medicine and technology have allowed people to live longer than ever before. Unfortunately, increased longevity does not always mean that people are going to stay healthy. The elderly population is facing an increase in the number of people suffering with illnesses that limit their ability to function independently.

Cognitive and dementia related illnesses are of particular concern to seniors. Such illnesses affect a person’s ability to make some of the most personal and fundamental choices affecting their lives, including financial and medical decisions.

It is critical that people think about these issues, communicate them to loved ones, and talk with qualified professionals that can help put an effective plan in place.
