What is Elder Law?

​

Elder Law (also known as Elder Care Law) is a specialty of law that caters to the needs of older adults and people with disabilities to ensure that their estate planning, medical, and housing needs are addressed as they age. Johnson McGinnis Elder Care Law and Estate Planning advises clients on a vast range of elder law matters, including:

​

• Planning for (and paying for) long-term care in the home and/or in a long-term care facility

• Medicaid planning 

• Asset protection 

• Wills and Trusts

• Living Wills and Advance Directives

• Social Security and retirement income planning

• Disability planning

• Veterans benefits, including VA Pension Aid & Attendance

• Surrogate decision-making, including Durable Powers of Attorney and Conservatorships

​

The customized Elder Care Protection Plans and Life Care Plans we create often include elder law services. Elder Law also frequently involves designing and drafting Estate Planning documents.
