Rockville, Maryland, Elder Law Attorney
Elder law focuses on the legal needs of the elderly population. An elder law attorney can help to identify the client's needs and goals and create a plan that satisfies both.
The elderly have the same legal needs as anybody else, but their concerns in many ways are different. The elderly are rightfully more apt to seek a personal sense of financial security. Practicing elder law since 1996, the Law Offices of William Roberge believes the unique role of the elder law attorney involves more than creating a standard estate plan for the client. We do life planning to help create an overall plan that responds to as many of the client's needs and concerns as possible. Contact our Rockville, Maryland, elder law attorney today to discuss how we may be of assistance.
As part of our elder law practice, we focus on the following matters:
- Health care issues (including long-term care and nursing home issues)
- Guardianships
- Powers of attorney
- Advanced medical directives
- Housing issues
William Roberge is a member of the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA), a premier organization dedicated to improving the lives of the elderly population and people with special needs. Elder law includes many aspects of estate planning, but also involves probate and estate administration, gifting and estate tax issues and guardianships.
A communication gap exists today between many lawyers and their elderly clients. A young lawyer simply lacks the experience to have dealt with many of the life events that the older client has. Our firm is sensitive to the needs of the elderly that must be observed when providing elder law services. As we grow older, our clients also grow older. The same people who brought their parents to us are now having those same needs and are themselves our clients.
Not many attorneys practice elder law and know how to deal with the needs of the elderly client. When we look at the demographics of the county, however, we are getting older. Elderly law issues and concerns are coming to the fore now.
