Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law is distinct from other branches of family law. A good elder law attorney will have a deep understanding of the factors that specifically affect senior citizens. Furthermore, an elder law attorney will offer the care, compassion, and patience needed for these cases, as they often involve end-of-life care and decisions. It’s crucial to have the right attorney by your side to determine what’s best for your health, finances, and family before you pass.
Why Did Elder Law Develop?
In 2015, the U.S. Census reported that nearly 48 million people in the United States were over the age of 65. That number is expected to nearly double, reaching close to 98 million by 2060. Elder law was developed to address the unique issues that the elderly face as they age. These issues are often complex and require extensive legal assistance, particularly those related to financial planning and end-of-life care.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid Issues
To qualify for Medicaid, you must meet strict eligibility guidelines that are based on your income and assets. It’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney to understand whether and how you can apply for Medicaid, especially if you anticipate needing long-term care. Our law firm has significant experience working with elder law cases involving Medicaid issues.
