Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law differs from other branches of family law. A skilled elder law attorney will have a comprehensive understanding of the unique challenges and factors that affect senior citizens. Additionally, elder law requires an attorney who is compassionate and patient, as these cases often involve sensitive issues like end-of-life care and treatment. It is vital to have the right attorney by your side to help determine the best course of action 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. This number is expected to grow to nearly 98 million by 2060. Elder law was developed to address the specific issues faced by the elderly as they age. These issues are particularly complex and often require legal assistance, especially when related to financial planning and end-of-life care.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid
To qualify for Medicaid, strict eligibility requirements based on income and assets must be met. If you or a loved one may require long-term care, it is important to consult with an experienced lawyer to determine if and how you can apply for Medicaid. Our law firm has extensive experience in handling elder law cases involving Medicaid issues and can help families in Fort Bend County navigate these complex matters.
