Elder Law
Elder law is an area of legal practice that focuses on the aging population. The purpose of elder law is to prepare an individual, young, pre or post-retirement, for financial autonomy and long term care options. DJ Legal Group provides an array of services for seniors, including planning for health care decisions and end-of-life issues; long-term care planning; general estate planning and administration; and guardianship. Our legal team offers efficient and respectful service when determining the appropriate type of care, coordinating private and public resources to finance the cost of care and working to ensure that clients receive quality care.
Some individuals have the benefit of having pre-planned for their golden years while others are not as fortunate. Some families consult with an attorney when a loved one becomes ill or no longer has capacity to make decisions regarding his or her assets or care. This can be extremely challenging for a family who is now faced with having to make decisions that may or may not align with other family members' opinions or may not honor the wishes of the individual. DJ Legal Group has years of experience in dealing with these challenging situations and is here to provide support and achieve an outcome that is in the best interest of the individual.
