Dzialo, Pickett & Allen, P.C. Attorneys at Law

Elder Law

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)
