Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law is distinct from other areas of family law. A skilled elder law attorney will possess a thorough understanding of the factors affecting senior citizens. Additionally, an elder law attorney will bring the care, compassion, and patience that these cases often require, as they frequently involve end-of-life care and decisions. Having the right attorney by your side is crucial to determining what is best for your health, finances, and family before you pass.
Why Did Elder Law Develop?
In 2015, the U.S. Census recorded that the United States had a population of nearly 48 million people aged 65 and older. This number is projected to grow to close to 98 million by 2060. Elder law developed to address the specific challenges faced by the elderly as they age. These challenges require detailed legal assistance, especially as they relate to financial planning and end-of-life care.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid Issues
To qualify for Medicaid, individuals must meet strict eligibility guidelines, which are based on income and assets. It’s wise to consult with an experienced lawyer to determine how to apply for Medicaid, especially if you will need long-term care. Our law firm has extensive experience handling elder law cases involving Medicaid issues.
