NEW YORK ELDER LAW

Elder Law has been recognized as a practice area for more than twenty years.  It has developed as a result of the tremendous growth in the number of senior citizens who are living longer productive lives. 

Elder Law involves areas of practice that include Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, long-term care insurance, wills, trusts, healthcare proxies, powers of attorney, reverse mortgages and other real estate matters.  At Robbins & Associates, we are devoted to providing seniors with the highest level of representation with regard to Elder Law issues.

As Elder Law attorneys we work with our clients to develop an action plan that will provide a thorough course of action to meet all client needs.   A typical action plan will include all aspects of estate planning including Medicaid planning.  Many seniors who own their own homes and have assets, do not realize that they may well be eligible for Medicaid benefits to cover the huge expense of long-term care and are still able to preserve their assets. 

Elder Law action plans also include the preparation of wills and trusts so that our clients have the peace of mind in knowing that they have put into place proper estate planning.  An Elder Law action plan may also include decisions regarding real estate matters as well as insurance issues.  Also included in any Elder Law action plan are decisions regarding healthcare proxies and medical directives, also known as living wills.

Today more than ever, our seniors need the assistance of Elder Law attorneys to guide them through the many Elder Law issues.  The expertise of Elder Law counsel is essential so that the issues that particularly affect our senior citizens are properly addressed.
