At Hurwitz law, when we talk about “elder law,” we’re not just focusing on a specific age group—we’re addressing the unique legal, financial, and healthcare challenges that arise as we age. While elder law typically serves individuals around retirement age (60 or 65 and older), it’s about more than just age. It’s about the circumstances you or your loved ones are facing.
Our elder law practice covers a range of issues, including retirement planning, Medicaid and Medicare navigation, long-term care arrangements, and asset protection. These are challenges that may also affect younger individuals dealing with disability or incapacity, so we tailor our approach to meet the specific life circumstances of each client.
The team at Hurwitz Law goes beyond traditional elder law with our Life Care Planning services, a holistic and proactive strategy that integrates legal, financial, and care coordination. Life Care Planning focuses on ensuring that seniors receive the best possible care while preserving their quality of life and protecting their assets. This approach helps families plan ahead for long-term care, making decisions about finding and financing the highest quality care in the least restrictive settings.
By combining the personalized support of elder law with the comprehensive approach of Life Care Planning, Hurwitz law helps you and your family navigate the complexities of aging with confidence and peace of mind.
