Last updated on April 23, 2024
“What does elder law involve?” This is a common question for people who find themselves or loved ones rapidly approaching retirement. The long answer here is that elder law encompasses and involves a wide range of legal issues – from estate planning, powers of attorney and conservatorships to asset protection and Medicare or Medicaid planning. More briefly, it’s about achieving personal and financial security for your golden years and protecting the legacies you wish to leave behind.

As you might have noticed from this list, ensuring eligibility for Medicare, Medicaid and other government benefit programs is probably the single biggest concern that most people have when approaching retirement. Unfortunately, the eligibility requirements for these programs can be both confusing and punishing in some respects.
Punishing? Yes, these programs essentially want applicants to be nearly broke before allowing access to the benefits they provide.
The solution to this problem is an experienced attorney who can provide you with sound, ethical advice on how to obtain the government benefits you deserve, while preserving your assets.
Attorney Russell Hodges founded the North Georgia Elder Care Alliance, a group that offers advice on elder law issues such as long-term care insurance, financial planning and finding extended-care facilities that offer dignity and quality of life.
