Medical, financial, and caregiving services are complex; elder law attorneys are lawyers who assist the elderly (and their family members and caregivers) with issues related to aging and long-term care. It is considered a subspecialty of estate planning. Specific areas in which our office is well-versed include:
- Preservation and transfer of assets
- Long-term care planning, placement, and finances; including in-home care and nursing care
- Medicare and Medicaid [MaineCare] planning
- Estate and disability planning, including wills, trusts, and powers of attorney for financial and health needs
- Guidance on using retirement benefits
- Probate and estate administration
- Conservatorships and guardianships (in the event of physical or mental incapacity)
- Home equity conversions (reverse mortgages)
- Elder abuse and fraud recovery issues
Typically, working with an elder law attorney is a long-term relationship, not just as a transaction. There is no set obligation, but the expectation is that aging is a process where things keep changing, so an attorney’s guidance may be needed periodically.
