Elder law legal concerns for the attorney
1. Personal injury lawyers should remember that their responsibility does not necessarily end with the personal injury settlement, especially relative to personal injury settlement proceeds obtained for incapacitated adults.
2. Divorce attorneys must address the issue of aging spouses, some of whom may have diminished capacity. Determine what effect the division of marital property and maintenance may have in future long term care.
