Description

Mastering Elder Law 3rd Edition Ralph C. Brashier ISBN 9781531032081

Mastering Elder Law provides a comprehensive guide to the legal issues most commonly encountered when representing elderly clients. The book covers public benefits, retirement systems, age discrimination, wealth transfers, and estate planning using probate and non-probate assets. It also addresses medical decision-making, including the “right to die,” guardianships and conservatorships, supported decision-making, durable powers of attorney, long-term care, housing, elder abuse, and the many ethical considerations that arise when representing elders or their fiduciaries. Overarching themes include the delicate balance between state protection of vulnerable citizens and the promotion of autonomy.

Throughout, the text provides practical examples and clear explanations of complex topics such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The third edition incorporates recent developments in case law, administrative rules, and federal and state statutes, including:

  • The Uniform Health-Care Decisions Act (2023)

  • The Uniform Guardianship, Conservatorship, and Other Protective Arrangements Act (2017)

  • Social Security changes affecting married and certain unmarried couples

  • Updates to SSI in-kind support and maintenance calculations

  • Retirement fund developments under the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022

  • Changes in Medicare and Medicaid coverage

  • Ethical guidance from The ACTEC Commentaries on the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (2023)

  • Key U.S. Supreme Court decisions impacting elder law

Mastering Elder Law equips students and practitioners with a thorough, practical understanding of the legal challenges facing older adults today.
