Hudson Valley, New York, Elder Law Attorney
Elder law is a relatively new and evolving area of law that involves the long-term health care and medical needs planning for the elderly. In recent years it has involved a transition from estate planning, including wills and trusts, to a more nuanced practice area that addresses the needs of the elderly as they transition into retirement and, sometimes, into a nursing home or other care facilities. At Francello & Van Benschoten, we have significant experience in representing elderly clients and their children in a number of legal matters, including estate planning, financial management and medical needs.
