Elder Law

WORKING WITH AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

Baby boomers represent one of the largest generational groups in U.S. history, and Investopedia reports that they are now retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day. Seniors are retiring in droves, but they are probably one of the most neglected groups from a legal standpoint. Oftentimes, they don’t have access to or know how to use the internet to find what they need – leaving them in a vulnerable position, prone to isolation and abuse. While the Golden Years can be great, they can also bring dwindling income, depleted reserves, and diminished capacity. Preparing for your Golden Years is very likely the best way to ensure you enjoy those Golden Years.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU WORK WITH AN ELDER LAW ATTORNEY?

Without reviews and updates to estate planning documents, beneficiary designations, deeds, and account titling, family members can be left frustrated and goodwill can evaporate. Further, caregivers can suffer needlessly if they do not understand the benefit options available and within reach.

The Elder law attorneys at Michaelson Law can help many contested and uncontested cases in elder law. Some of our specialties include the following elder law services:

Veterans Benefits

Our attorneys are VA accredited and ready to help obtain aid and attendance, and other VA benefits. We can assist qualified veterans, the surviving spouse of a qualified veteran, or caregivers of a veteran. Visit our VA Pension services page to learn more.

Guardianship

We handle contested and uncontested guardianship matters, as well as the division of assets. The Michaelson Law’s veteran team is ready to help you navigate this difficult process with confidence and dignity. Learn more about these services on our Guardianship services page.
