Elder law focuses on legal issues affecting seniors, including estate planning, long-term care, Medicaid, and elder abuse protection. It helps families safeguard assets, plan for care, and prevent disputes, providing peace of mind as loved ones age.
You may need a power of attorney if you want someone to manage your financial, medical, or legal affairs if you’re unable to do so. It’s essential for situations like illness, travel, or incapacity, ensuring your trusted person can make decisions on your behalf.
If you suspect exploitation of a loved one, act quickly by documenting any signs of abuse or suspicious behavior. Report your concerns to adult protective services or law enforcement, and consult an attorney to explore legal options for protection and recovery.
The legal process typically involves an initial consultation to assess your loved one’s needs, followed by creating personalized plans for issues like estate planning, long-term care, or guardianship. We will guide you through documentation, filings, and any necessary court proceedings, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Trusts & Their Legal Significance
A trust is a right in property held by one person for the benefit of another. Trusts serve a variety of purposes and may take a number of different forms. A trust may be created to benefit a family member, a charity, or even a pet. Since trusts allow an individual to distribute his or her assets to others while minimizing estate, income, and gift taxes, trusts have become an essential component of estate planning. In the absence of nationally uniform trust legislation, individual states have developed their own laws to govern the establishment and maintenance of trusts. The Uniform Probate Code (UPC), which sets forth provisions relating to both wills and trusts, has been adopted in whole by over 30 percent of the states.

What Is a Trust? Definition, Account Types and Benefits
A trust, sometimes called a trust fund or trust account, is a legal arrangement to ensure a person’s assets go to specific beneficiaries. The trust creator puts assets in the trust account and authorizes a trustee to administer those assets for the trust creator or beneficiaries.
