Since 1963, May has been recognized as National Older Americans Month, but did you know it is also National Elder Law Month? This is a time every year that we get the opportunity to recognize all of those who support the senior community with their legal and planning needs. Although, I must say that I wish the term “Elder Law” was never created. When we hear elder law; it is a quick assumption to make that we only help the elderly and senior community. That certainly is not the case! Elder law encompasses everything from basic estate planning, guardianship, tax planning, and asset protection. Many of these pieces can be overlooked, but especially asset protection, which can apply to anyone, at any age, depending on their situation. There is no doubt that we probably assist the elderly more than any other demographic, but elder law is much more than a specific age group.

 

Happy National Elder Law Month! We look forward to providing more blogs and information during this month about elder law, and specifically what it is that elder law attorneys do. We thank you for your trust and support over these years and look forward to seeing you soon.
