ELDER LAW
An Elder Law Attorney Can Help You Plan Today for Tomorrow
Elder law is a combination of numerous legal practice areas such as trusts, estates, probate and estate administration, tax, long-term care planning, and special needs planning.
​
An elder law attorney is instrumental in applying various asset protection techniques, assisting clients in preserving their assets in order to qualify for or maintain Medicaid, and pay for long-term care costs. Without an adequate asset protection plan, long-term care costs may be cost-prohibitive.
An elder law attorney is not only for older generations, but is also an estate planning attorney and regularly crafts estate plans for all types of clients, including plans for asset protection, tax planning, and planning for disabled or minor children.
In many instances, the implementation of such techniques requires the experience of an attorney also knowledgeable with tax matters. For instance, it is impossible to prepare a Medicaid Trust for a client without also being able to advise the client of the tax consequences of creating such a trust. Proficiency in the tax law is also imperative where the client is being advised to transfer assets in order to qualify for Medicaid.
