Welcome to the Elder Law Section

Rather than being defined by technical legal distinctions, elder law is best defined by the client being served. It is critical to recognize the special planning needs of the elderly, the importance of advance directives to their safety, housing and long term care needs. It is also important to recognize the ethical issues facing an attorney dealing with clients with diminished capacity and frequent multi-generational participation in their care and planning. This involves issues of not only Medicare and Medicaid, but also disability, guardianships or other means of asset management, health care through community based services, assisted living, nursing home care and rehabilitation care. The Elder Law Section seeks to educate and assist attorneys, other professionals and the general public with these issues.
