Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law is distinct from other areas of family law. A skilled elder law attorney will have a deep understanding of the issues that specifically affect senior citizens. Moreover, elder law requires an attorney who is compassionate and patient, as these cases often involve sensitive matters such as end-of-life care and treatment. Having the right attorney by your side is crucial for making decisions about 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 legal issues that elderly individuals face as they age. These issues are often related to financial planning and end-of-life care and require a significant amount of legal assistance.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid
To qualify for Medicaid, you must meet specific eligibility guidelines based on your income and assets. If you or a loved one may require long-term care, it is important to consult with a knowledgeable lawyer to understand how to apply for Medicaid.
