Navigating Elder Law with Experience and Compassion
The Scope of Elder Law at Rudolph Law Offices
Elder law extends beyond traditional estate planning to ensure seniors live their later years with dignity and security. It’s about balancing asset preservation for a comfortable life and leaving a meaningful legacy. While elder law encompasses estate planning, it uniquely addresses the specific needs of the elderly.
Key Aspects of Elder Law:
- Medicare and Medicaid
- Medical and retirement planning
- Long-term care insurance and facilities
- Reverse mortgages and disability planning
- Veterans benefits and Social Security
- Addressing unique senior citizen issues
Elder Law vs. Elder Care
Often, elder law overlaps with elder care, encompassing both legal and non-legal aspects of senior care. Elder care is the personal attention given to a person by a caregiver – – a family member or a paid professional. Elder law deals with the myriad legal issues involved with elder care. At Rudolph Law Offices, we understand these nuances and often function as Elder Care Attorneys, providing comprehensive support for our senior clients.
Balancing Critical Objectives for Seniors
Our senior clients typically grapple with three core objectives:
- affording long-term skilled nursing home care
- preserving savings for a non-institutionalized spouse
- leaving a legacy.
