The Gloucester County elder law attorneys at Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters in Woodbury, NJ, understand that elder law is not merely focused on the needs of families and individuals as they age. Elder law planning is the process of addressing legal, financial, and medical concerns through comprehensive planning for present and future healthcare and economic needs. Elder Law is a growing area as the core of the baby boomer generation ages.
With an increase in the population of elderly individuals, elder abuse has correspondingly increased. As we age, we become physically and mentally vulnerable. Elderly individuals are susceptible and often targeted by family members, caregivers, fiduciaries, and criminals. At Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters, we have experienced attorneys in elder and estate planning law who can help prevent, protect, and stop elder abuse.
Elder Law and Planning
The key is being prepared with a plan that addresses the inevitable issues in accordance with the individual’s and the family’s desires. The operative word throughout the elder law and estate planning process is “planning.” Plans create stability and assurances. As we age, we want to ensure that things proceed according to plan. By that, we want to know with certainty, for instance, that my daughter will make my medical decisions for me in the event of my incapacity. Or, that my house will be left to my children, free of debt, if I pass away suddenly.
Within the realm of elder law, there are numerous issues. Among these issues are:
- Estate Administration
