(856) 304-0699 Elder law is an area of practice that focuses on the legal needs of seniors, their families and caregivers. An attorney that practices elder law can help with everything from standard legal issues to estate planning and long-term care needs. In some cases they focus their practice on assisting individuals and couples in preparing for the eventuality of needing nursing home care, and enabling them to take advantage of their Medicaid benefits while preserving the assets that they have spent their lifetime earning and accumulating. Other areas of attention include establishing trusts for family members and loved ones, creating wills, and ensuring that their future wishes are carried out from both a financial perspective and with regards to the legacy that they wish to leave behind. If you are interested in speaking with an elder law attorney in South Jersey, the attorneys at Cohen and Fineman LLC are here to help.
