Michigan Elder Law Blog

What is Michigan Elder Law and how can a Michigan Elder Law attorney help me?  These are common questions that people in the public have.  Elder law is a practice area that is defined by the client to be served.  As the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys ( NAELA) website puts it, “the lawyer who practices Elder Law may handle a range of issues but has a specific type of clients–seniors.”

So, what I do as a Michigan elder law attorney is assist clients, who can be seniors or the family members of seniors, with the legal issues that are particular to their needs.  This can include discussion with regard to long term care, including planning for the costs of nursing homes and assisted living through Michigan Medicaid planning and Michigan Veterans Benefits planning.

Most of all, elder law attorneys work hard to best serve their senior clients.  To often, there are hucksters and salesman trying to take advantage of our Michigan seniors.  We as, Michigan attorneys, have the highest duty to serve our clients versus these salesman who have no duty other than to make a sale.

If you would like to watch videos on elder law topics, take a look at the page put together by NAELA, which I am a member of.  You can see the videos here.
