Once considered to be a natural extension of the estate planning process, Elder Law is now a practice area in its own right as society and the law has transitioned to accommodate an aging population.  Our attorneys advise and assist clients with advance planning for their later years.  For those clients with immediate needs, our attorneys advise and assist with such things as VA benefit and Medicaid eligibility.  They advise and assist clients with associated planning options and the implementation of those options which may include the preparation of appropriate estate planning documents, preparing the appropriate applications for VA benefits and Medicaid, the consolidation and closure of financial accounts and even the admission to independent, assisted care and skilled nursing facilities.
