What Is Elder Law?
Elder law is a rapidly growing practice where lawyers offer representation for older clients and handle the kinds of issues commonly faced by the elderly and disabled.

What Are the Legal Practice Areas of an Elder Law Attorney?
Although the legal concerns of the elderly span the entire legal gamut, a handful of topics arise for seniors more regularly than others. Most lawyers who consider themselves elder law attorneys are familiar with guardianship proceedings, conservatorship hearings, Medicaid, Veterans Benefits, long-term care planning, estate planning, asset protection, trusts and probate. Some elder law attorneys may also be familiar with age discrimination, medical care issues (including advance directives), grandparent visitation and custody rights, Medicare benefits, nursing home abuse and a host of similar issues.

How Can I Find an Elder Law Attorney in My Area?
The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys provides an online resource for locating a member of that organization. NAELA is the only national organization of elder law attorneys and has more than 3,000 members hailing from every state (plus a few US territories and foreign countries). John S. Burton is a current member of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and the Elder Care Matters Alliance.
