FAQs
What is Elder Law, and how is it different from estate planning?
Elder Law focuses on the legal and financial needs of older adults, including long-term care planning, Medi-Cal eligibility, conservatorships, and protection against elder abuse. While it often includes estate planning, Elder Law takes a broader view—helping seniors manage both health care and financial decisions during their lifetime, not just after death.
How can an Elder Law attorney help with long-term care planning?
An Elder Law attorney can help you plan ahead to cover the high cost of long-term care—whether at home, in assisted living, or in a skilled nursing facility. We assist with Medi-Cal planning, protecting assets while ensuring eligibility, and setting up trusts or legal tools that can help reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
What is a conservatorship, and when is it necessary?
A conservatorship is a legal process where the court appoints someone to manage the personal or financial affairs of a person who is no longer able to do so on their own. While it's sometimes necessary, a well-crafted estate plan with powers of attorney and advance directives can often help avoid the need for a conservatorship entirely.
Can you help protect my elderly parent from financial abuse?
Yes. Financial elder abuse is a growing concern, and we can help you take legal action to protect your loved one. We assist with preventative planning, including oversight mechanisms and fiduciary designations, as well as intervention if exploitation has already occurred.
