Elder law is also not just something the elderly should be concerned
about. The effects of caring for seniors can impact subsequent
generations. For example, family legacies can be swallowed up to pay for
grandmother's nursing home bills and the inheritance that was once
expected, could be gone.
Elder law is becoming increasingly more important as health care law
changes and the fact that the Baby Boomers are fast approaching the age
of retirement. Statistics say roughly one person turns 50 every seven
seconds! Add to that the advances in medical technology and the longer
life expectancy of Americans, and one can see the importance of elder
law.
