An elder law attorney specializes in legal issues affecting seniors, including Medicaid planning, estate planning, wills and trusts, guardianship and conservatorship, long-term care planning, and protection against elder abuse. They help families navigate the complex legal landscape of aging.
Elder law attorneys in New England typically charge $250-500 per hour. Simple wills may cost $500-1,500, while comprehensive estate plans with trusts range from $2,000-5,000. Medicaid planning can cost $3,000-7,000 depending on complexity. Many attorneys offer a free or low-cost initial consultation.
Consult an elder law attorney when planning for long-term care costs, applying for Medicaid, creating or updating estate plans, considering guardianship for a loved one, or if you suspect elder abuse. Ideally, begin planning 3-5 years before anticipated care needs, as Medicaid has a 5-year look-back period.
