Elder Law and ALTCS
Seniors face special legal and life decisions, and it is the role of the elder law attorney to provide assistance and counsel to older persons and their families with these unique needs. “Elder law” refers to a legal field that cuts across several more traditional areas of law, and the term better describes the type of client we serve more than it does the services themselves. We provide the following legal services:
- Estate Planning
- Probate & Trust Administration
- Long-Term Care Planning, ALTCS, & Other Options
- Guardianship & Conservatorship
Feel free to click the links above to learn more about our specific services, or jump to our Arizona Long-Term Care System (ALTCS) page to read answers to our frequently asked questions. As always, you can get in touch with us at any point to schedule an appointment and learn how we can help you.
