We have a growing senior citizen population in our region and our county. Senior citizens have worked their whole lives to build their families and communities. Yet, many of them are vulnerable in older age due to illnesses, family issues, and the complexity of our financial system and lives. Whether basic estate planning is needed, or a senior citizen needs help with government benefits, attorneys experienced in elder law issues can help.
Elder law attorneys can assist elders and their families with issues including:
• Estate Planning
• Medicaid planning
• Disability
• Guardianship and conservatorship
• End-of-life planning
• Retirement planning
• Long-term-care planning
• Social security benefits
• Assisted living and other facilities
When in doubt, make the call. The cost-benefit analysis almost always comes out in favor of speaking with an elder law attorney, even if you are simply more informed than you were before.
