Elder law is an area of legal practice that specializes on issues that affect the senior population. Some say the purpose of elder law planning is to prepare the elderly person for financial freedom and autonomy through proper financial planning and long-term care options.[1] However, the purpose of elder law is not so narrow. Not everyone needs long-term care and not everyone is financially insecure. The purpose of elder law is to provide holistic legal advice that allows older persons and disabled individuals to preserve and protect their rights and values. Often these values are implemented by others, which is why thoughtful advance planning is necessary.
