 What is Elder Law?
Elder law is more than simple estate planning or retirement planning. Legal issues for the elderly, disabled, and their families are complex. Laws and regulations involving Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, nursing homes, assisted living, special needs trusts, and benefits planning can be difficult to understand.
