The term “Elder Law” refers to the client an attorney serves, rather than the type of work performed. The legal issues facing the elderly are often complex, so it is important that the attorney handling their case is familiar with the many laws and regulations affecting seniors. 

Senior citizens quite often face legal issues in any of the following areas:  Medicaid, Medicare, Real Estate, Social Security, Disabilities, Nursing Homes, Probate, Insurance, Health Care, Housing, Elder Abuse, Personal Injury, Banking and Investments, Mental Health, Trusts, Wills, Pensions, Asset Preservation, and Taxes. 

An Elder Law Attorney has a working knowledge of all of these areas of law, and is aware of the real life problems, health and otherwise, that people experience as they age. Attorneys who work with the elderly bring more to their practice than an expertise in the law. They recognize and empathize with the true physical and mental difficulties that often accompany the aging process.  We at Stewart and Bruss, P.C. pride ourselves on providing our clients a full range of legal services that encompass all of the issues that a senior citizen may find themselves facing.
