At last, a practical guide attorneys can quickly consult to find direction through the often uncharted territory of long-term care and elder law. Regardless of practice area, attorneys are trusted advisors and are frequently asked how to respond when a client, friend, or family member faces a catastrophic life event. As diagnoses such as Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig’s disease, or other mental and physical disabilities become increasingly common, individuals and families are often thrust into crisis—or compelled to engage in advance planning to protect quality of life and financial stability.

This complex and sensitive area of practice, commonly known as elder law, intersects with medicine, public benefits, family dynamics, and personal belief systems. Attorneys must help clients navigate challenging issues such as Medicaid long-term care planning, guardianship and conservatorship, estate planning, and even elder abuse. Whether addressing an immediate crisis or helping a client develop a comprehensive life-care plan, this book equips attorneys with the knowledge and tools needed to provide informed and compassionate guidance.

Readers will find clear answers to critical questions: What legal remedies are available? Which government programs can provide assistance? How can the cost of long-term care be funded and managed? By addressing these and other essential concerns, this book serves as an indispensable resource for attorneys helping individuals and families navigate the legal, financial, and personal challenges of long-term care planning.
