Elder Law deals with all legal problems that are particularly related to the older adults. Much has been said about how the number of the elderly is growing much faster than any other segment of our population. Government is playing a much larger role each year in attempting to meet the needs of older Americans. Our older population is becoming more politically active in promoting new protection and services for older Americans. The result of their activity is new legislation and governmental intervention to meet the needs of this important group of people.

Much of the law is so new that little precedent has been established to clarify the meaning of many of the laws and regulations adopted in the Elder Law area. There are many traps for the unwary in our present law, which require special expertise from an attorney who wishes to serve the older person’s legal needs. For an attorney to understand these legal issues, special preparation must be made to better assist the client. The attorney without this preparation, training, and experience, can often be more of a hindrance than a helper.
