Elder attorneys have knowledge of the senior population and their unique needs as well as issues related to competence and aging. They are aware of the physical and mental difficulties that often accompany the aging process. Because of their broad knowledge base they are able to more thoroughly address the legal needs of their clients. 

A large and important portion of Arizona’s population is made up of senior citizens.  Therefore, the state has put the utmost care into building proper Elder Law in order to protect and ensure the rights of the elderly population. Good elder law attorney will advise clients on a range of long- term care planning issues, taking into considering emotional and other non-legal issues. Estate planning (taking care of what happens to your assets after death) is just one facet. The other is taking care of your assets, needs, and physical care before that event, and elder law attorneys help you plan for illness, disability, or incapacity.

Elder Law in Arizona covers issues such as:

•  Elder abuse
  
•  Long-term care
•  Fraud recovery
•  Medical coverage
•  Insurance
•  Neglect
  
•  Funeral planning

Elder law attorneys attempt to preserve the ability of a person to exercise his or her own self-determination, autonomy and independence for as long as possible.
