What is Elder Law?

Elder Law is a term that originated in the United States which defines the area of law that focuses on legal issues that affect the elderly, their spouses, and/or their children. The general population may have the same issues from time to time. It is the seniors in our community who often have a greater need for Estate Planning, Planning for Incapacity, Representation Agreements, Powers of Attorney, and other areas involving long term planning.
