Elder law is a focus of law that provides legal planning for senior citizens or people with special healthcare needs such as Alzheimer’s disease. As people grow older, they will need to plan for medical and financial matters that they may not be able to deal with as they age. Planning ahead can ensure that their needs will be met. Some people help plan for their parents or other aging loved ones, and others may make plans for themselves.
