 Elder law involves a wide range of issues, everything from Estate Planning, Asset Preservation and Conservatorships to the procurement of government benefits, housing and care-giving options. Our goal in this area of the law is to guide elderly clients and their loved ones through the legal issues and possible financial problems that come with growing older, and preserve our clients’ personal and financial independence for as long as possible. We can also show seniors a variety of ways to qualify for long-term care assistance from Medi-Cal—without spending down all of their assets. Procuring this assistance is particularly important today. Nursing home care averages more than $6,000 a month and the costs are rising. Also, people are living longer than ever before. In fact, more than 50 percent of people aged 65 will need help because of incapacity at some point in their lives.
As with all aspects of Estate Planning, the best time to get legal advice is right now—and the best place to get it is from an experienced Estate Planning Attorney. Jeff Sydney has years of experience in Elder Law and is a member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.
