Elder law is the area of practice that helps seniors and disabled individuals plan for the future. It includes healthcare directives, durable powers of attorney, asset protection and long term care planning.
Key elements include advanced directives, durable powers of attorney, guardianship or conservatorship when needed, Medicaid planning, estate planning and clear communication with family and medical providers.
This glossary explains common terms such as guardianship, probate, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive, Medicaid and estate planning.
Guardianship is a legal process to appoint someone to make decisions for a person who cannot manage their own affairs.
A durable power of attorney gives a chosen person authority to handle finances and legal matters if you become unable to do so.
An advance healthcare directive records your medical wishes and designates who can speak for you when you are unable to communicate.

Costs vary by complexity. Some plans have flat fees; others are hourly. We provide an estimate after a consultation and aim to offer transparent pricing.
