Bahrawy Law Office

As today’s senior is more active and living longer, he/she is encountering a new set of legal concerns. While older people have always needed Wills and Estate Planning to pass their assets to their beneficiaries, their more recent longevity creates the need for plans addressing future housing, future medical care, and future incapacity. This new industry of senior living facilities raises many legal questions introducing Elder Law, a specialized field of law that deals with the issues faced by the fastest growing segment of the U.S. population, persons over age 65. This area of law combines elements of Estate Planning (Wills Trusts and Advance Directives), Conservatorship/Guardianship, Health Care Planning, Medicare/Medicaid Planning, and Elder Rights and Abuse. Elder law often deals with elders in crisis whereas estate planning does not. You should make sure that the lawyer you select focuses on and is experienced in Elder Law.Powered by Hackadelic Sliding Notes 1.6.4
