Elder Law Guide

Elder Law
Age discrimination in employment is widespread and can be difficult to prove, but under two federal laws, it's illegal.
Estates, Trusts & Wills
Sometimes persons named in the will are erroneously told that there are no assets to be passed to them.
Planning Before Death
While it's generally a good idea to pre-plan with a will or pre-arrangements for your funeral, be careful that your admirable intentions don't progress to poor planning.
Probates & Estates
If a person dies without a trust, probate will generally be necessary.
Real Estate
Property transfers before death have advantages. They can avoid probate and its costs, as well as reduce federal income and estate taxes.
Social Security & Disability
You can apply for disability benefits as soon as you become disabled.
