Elder law and estate planning are both important, but they serve very different purposes. Elder law is geared towards older individuals and protecting assets while the individual is alive. Estate planning is focused on how assets are handled after death.
Elder law planning makes sure that seniors live a long, healthy, and financially secure life. Qualifying for Medicaid, planning for nursing home care, naming guardians and a person to be your power of attorney all fall under the umbrella of elder law.
Estate planning is for all ages because it is always important to have a plan in the case of an early passing. Estate planning attorneys help to create wills and trusts that will act as a written testimony after your death. Creating a will or trust will ensure that your beneficiaries have an easier time gaining access to your assets after death and even avoid the long and costly probate process.
Life happens and your estate plan should change with your life. Revising your plan after marriages, divorces, births, and deaths will ensure an easy transition after your passing.
