The area of Elder Law is often misunderstood and has been the focus of much discussion over the years. Simply stated, Elder Law is the synchronization of various professional fields:  Estate Planning, Social Security/Medicare, Arrangements for Care, Financial Planning, Pre-Need Arrangements, Guardianship and Tax Planning.
