What is Elder Law?

A: Some people believe that the practice of Elder Law is estate and tax planning for senior citizens. In truth, it is much more than that. Elder Law also focuses on helping senior citizens, especially those with disabilities, access the maximum amount of government benefits. Attorney Robert Anderson has successfully fought for Medicare coverage for home health care, veteran's pensions, HUD rent sudsidies, and Medicaid for nursing home care. Elder Law also focuses on preventing financial exploitation, avoiding probate guardianship, preventing unnecessary pain, and life support with comprehensive Powers of Attorney. Finally, an Elder Law attorney advocates for disabled seniors to stay at home as long as possible when a disability occurs.
