Elder Law is defined as: Legal services to enhance the lives of people as they age.

I am a member of NAELA (National Academy for Elder Law Attorneys.) I have had many hours of education from NAELA. They are an outstanding non-profit association which assists lawyers, bar organizations and others who work with older clients and their families. Established in 1987, the Academy provides a resource of information, education, networking and assistance to those who must deal with the many specialized issues involved with legal services to the elderly and disabled.

They have a great website with lots of good information about Elder Law. You may find them at http://www.naela.org

If you are in need of an Elder Law attorney, don't be afraid to ask questions before hiring your attorney. NAELA has a great list of questions to ask. I suggest you print this list and ask these questions either over the phone or take it with you for your initial conference with an attorney
