Unlike virtually every other field of law, elder law is focused not so much on any particular subject matter but on a particular type of client - the elderly. Elder law is a diverse practice that cuts across several more traditional bodies of law. At Dzialo, Pickett & Allen, P.C., our experienced elder law practicioners focus on a number of areas including:
- advance medical directives and the "right-to-die"
- substituted decision making
- charitable giving
- governmental benefits like Medicaid (Title XIX) and Medicare
- retirement benefits
- conservatorships
- health care
- disabilities
- long-term care planning
- probate administration
- trust and estate planning
- special needs planning
- wills and trusts
- powers of attorney
- insurance
- elder abuse and fraud
- taxation
- state and federal home equity conversion (reverse mortgages)
