Why Hire an Elder Law Lawyer?
Elder law is distinct from other areas of family law. A skilled elder law attorney will have a solid understanding of the factors that affect senior citizens. Additionally, an elder law attorney will bring the necessary care, compassion, and patience required for these cases, as they often involve end-of-life care and decisions. Having the right attorney by your side is essential to determining what is best for your health, finances, and family before you pass.
Why Did Elder Law Develop?
In 2015, the U.S. Census recorded that the United States had nearly 48 million people over the age of 65. This number is expected to grow to nearly 98 million by 2060. Elder law was created to address the specific issues that elderly individuals face as they age. These issues often require extensive legal assistance, particularly when related to financial planning and end-of-life care.
Elder Law Cases Involving Medicaid Issues
To qualify for Medicaid, individuals must meet strict eligibility criteria, based on their income and assets. It’s advisable to consult with an experienced attorney to determine how to apply for Medicaid, particularly if you anticipate needing long-term care. Our law firm has extensive experience handling elder law cases involving Medicaid issues.
