Thirty-five years ago, Elder Law did not exist. People tended to have shorter life expectancies then and did not need as much in the way of support. Estate Planning focused on inheritances and estate taxes and did not consider spending all their funds on long term care. Today the 85+ population is the fastest growing in our country.
For most people the question is not if they will need long term care; the question is what choices they will have for their long term care when they need it. The best time to choose an elder law attorney is before you need one. When Rob began practicing in 1992, he realized how much he enjoys counseling families and helping them navigate the maze of eldercare laws.

Incapacity is not a topic most of us want to dwell on. However, for most of us, it is a very real possibility that often occurs without warning. Several estate planning documents address this issue, including powers of attorney and advance directives. The person who signs a power of attorney (the "principal") authorizes another person (the "agent) to act on his or her behalf.
