Elder law is a wide field of law that encompasses many aspects of the care and legal affairs of senior citizens. Elder law frequently focuses on adjusting the assets and holdings of senior clients so that they qualify for MediCal in the event they need long-term care in a skilled nursing facility. In some cases a gifting program can allow a client to qualify for MediCal, and at the same time still preserve some of the gifted assets for the client's beneficiaries.
Other important aspects of elder law include counseling families with a demented family member, and obtaining a conservatorship if necessary. The conservatorship process can be long and daunting, and conservators often need help and guidance through the process. There are occasions where family members fight over control of the assets of an incompetent parent. All of these problems of the elderly require thoughtful counseling and dispute resolution.
