Elder Law
The legal services provided by an elder law attorney are not very different than the legal services that are provided to younger clients. What defines an elder law attorney is the attorney's emphasis in coordinating an elder's legal needs with his or her other needs, whether medical, emotional, or financial. A person who is facing aging-related issues can benefit from someone who is experienced in identifying and working with needs that are often competing.

Elder Law Services include:
Commonly, elder law services must address an elder's need for state assistance to meet medical and or long term care expenses. This is done through a thorough evaluation of current assets, recent gifting, and anticipated needs.

An elder law attorney may help a person apply for Medical Assistance (Medicaid), as well as compute any periods of ineligibility and any spend-downs of assets necessary to become eligible for benefits. Finally, an elder law attorney may assist the elder and his or her family in addressing any estate recovery issues that may arise if the elder actually receives benefits during his or her lifetime.
