About Elder Law
Elder law is a specialized area of law that focuses on the legal needs and concerns of aging adults, typically those over the age of 65. It covers a wide range of legal and practical issues that affect seniors, their caretakers, and family members. The primary goal of elder law is to provide holistic legal advice and support to older adults and those who are disabled, allowing them to preserve and protect their rights, values, and interests.

The field of elder law aims to ensure that seniors have access to the necessary legal protections and support to enhance their quality of life and overall well-being.
