Along with the stress of having lost a husband, came the stress of having to deal with much paperwork.

Benjamin Eckman, a prominent Eldercare attorney, was recommended to me by a friend, whose advice I followed.

Clients often ask me to explain how "Elder Law" differs from traditional estate planning.
Whereas the estate planner and accountant help the client plan his or her estate, the Elder Law Practitioner counsels the client on how to live his or her remaining years in dignity.
Thus, Elder Law concentrates primarily on the person, the elder, and the type of life he or she desires, and only secondarily on his or her estate.
After th Elder Law attorney and client complete their work, legal documents have been drafted, tax considerations have been discussed and analyzed, and a plan to protect the elder's estate has been implemented.
