Suffolk Elder Law Attorney

Representing Clients Across The Virginia Beach and Richmond Area

As our overall life expectancy continues to grow, our parents and grandparents are enjoying healthy, active lives well into their eighties and nineties. However, it isn’t the case for everyone. As some people age and experience major life changes – retirement, diminished income, loss of a spouse, or failing health – it often falls to the younger generation to pay bills and see to their loved ones’ daily well-being.

Accomplishing this, especially if you don’t live close, may require hiring help or utilizing your loved ones’ funds to cover expenses. Any legal matters involving the physical and/or financial care of a senior citizen or disabled person falls under the category of elder law.

What Can An Elder Law Attorney Do For You?

Elder law attorneys are advocates for the senior and their loved ones. Most elder law attorneys manage a large variety of legal matters affecting an older or handicapped individual, consisting of concerns related to healthcare, long term care planning, guardianship, retirement, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, and other concerns.

In many ways, elder law attorneys are "professionals" because they concentrate on the needs of older adults, which are frequently different and more customized than the requirements of younger grownups.

At Bush & Taylor, P.C., we focus our efforts on every aspect of elder law and are prepared to help you tend to the needs of an elderly or disabled person in your care. Also, if you are over the age of 55 and have no heirs or dependents, we can work with you to plan the next stage of your life.
