Elder Law deals with a field of legal issues facing senior citizens, elders, and their families

The field of elder law in Florida focuses on those issues which impact senior citizens, the elderly, their loved ones, and their families.  Practicing Florida elder law means that the attorney’s expertise encompasses a broad understanding of aging and the law, along with the practicalities of growing older and how that impacts seniors and their spouses, children, siblings and friends, and coordinates a client’s estate plan with their long term care plan.  Elder law includes consideration of the following:

  • Durable Powers of Attorney
  • Health Care Surrogate Designations
  • Living Wills and Advance Directives
  • HIPAA Designations and Releases
  • Planning for Long Term Care and Medicaid
  • Asset Preservation
  • Residential Alternatives
  • Special Needs Trusts for Disabled Individuals
  • Estate, Gift and Income Tax Issues
  • Trusts
  • Wills
  • Probate and Trust Administration
  • Long Term Care Insurance
