Frequently asked questions
What is elder law?
Elder law focuses on legal issues that affect older adults, including planning for incapacity, long-term care, benefits eligibility and protecting assets for a spouse or family.
When should we start planning for long-term care?
The earlier the better. Some planning options depend on timing, so meeting with an attorney before care is needed gives your family more choices.
Can a family member make decisions for a parent who can no longer manage on their own?
That depends on whether the parent signed a power of attorney and healthcare directive while able to do so. Without them, the family may need to ask a court for authority. We can explain the options in your situation.
