Elder law attorneys help with areas of the law related to the senior aging process. They can help with legal matters currently affecting an older individual, as well as offer legal guidance for what needs may arise in the future. Long-term care planning, estate planning, VA benefits, trusts, case management, and guardian advocacy are all areas where elder law attorneys can be helpful.
