Elder Law
As our society ages, more and more Americans are living in their "golden years." The lives of the elders are increasingly affected by government programs, legal and financial issues. Decreasing income and dependence on Social Security and retirement require planning for the older client. Maintaining the family residence, ensuring continuing health care and estate planning present legal questions for the elderly and their family. Some of the serious questions to consider involve establishing disability under Social Security, obtaining and maintaining Medicare or Medicaid benefits, executing powers of attorney or living wills and considering tax consequences.
