In 2006, the oldest of the baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964, turned 60 years old. As a result, new concerns have given rise to a specialized area of law, Elder law. This term was not even mentioned when I attended law school in the early 1980s. However, with the anticipated increase in the elderly population, the advances in technology and the increase in life expectancy, the dynamics of our society are changing and the Elder Law area of practice is growing rapidly. Elder law looks at the needs of seniors during their longer lifetime.
Estate planning as well as retirement and long term care planning form a natural part of the Elder law practice. Seniors are finding themselves working longer to address the cost of healthcare for themselves as well as elders under their care.
Over the next few days, I will address some of the primary issues in Elder Law. Feel free to leave a comment or contact our firm at http://www.ythlaw.com/
