What is Elder Law?
Elder Law
Elder law focuses on the legal needs of senior citizens or disabled individuals.
If you are an older adult, or have an older loved one, Ayres Presser Elder Law can help you navigate the complex legal system and make sure that your needs are met as you age.
Our team can provide you with a wide range of services, including:
- Estate planning: If you want to make sure your assets will be distributed according to your wishes after you pass, we can help you draft a will, trust, or other document to ensure that happens.
- Long-term care planning: We can help you find, arrange, and pay for long-term care, such as nursing home care or home health care.
- Medicaid qualification: We’ll help you qualify for Medicaid, a government program that provides health insurance for low-income individuals.
- Veterans benefits: Do you need help applying for veterans benefits, such as the GI Bill or VA healthcare? We can help.
- Elder abuse: You need protection. Our team will help safeguard you from elder abuse, such as financial exploitation or neglect.
- Guardianship and conservatorship: If you become incapacitated, you may need a guardian or conservator to make decisions on your behalf. Our experienced team can help you choose the right person for these roles to ensure that your wishes are followed.
- Advance directives: These legal documents allow you to legally state your wishes about health care and/or end-of-life care in the event that you become incapacitated. We can help you draft advance directives that are thorough and consistent with your wishes.
- Probate: If you already have a will, our team can help you probate your will and ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes.
