Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law is distinct from other branches of family law. As such, a skilled elder law attorney will possess a thorough understanding of the factors that affect senior citizens. Additionally, an elder law attorney will demonstrate the care, compassion, and patience needed in these cases, which often involve end-of-life care and treatment. It’s crucial to have the right attorney by your side to help determine what is best for your health, finances, and family before you pass away.
Why Did Elder Law Develop?
In 2015, the U.S. Census recorded that nearly 48 million people in the United States were over the age of 65. That number is expected to grow to close to 98 million by 2060. Elder law developed to address the specific issues faced by the elderly as they age. These concerns are unique and require specialized legal assistance, as many of them relate to financial planning and end-of-life care.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid Issues
To be eligible for Medicaid, you must meet strict guidelines. These guidelines are based on your income and assets. It is important to consult with an experienced lawyer to determine if and how you can apply for Medicaid in the event that you require long-term care. Our law firm has extensive experience working with elder law cases that involve Medicaid issues.
