Elder Law

Miles & Stockbridge lawyers are skilled at assisting individuals and families with some of their most complex challenges, and the legal services we provide are tailored to each specific situation involving assets, relationships and special needs.

In all our work, we draw upon the full resources of our Miles & Stockbridge colleagues involved in tax, litigation, real estate, employee benefits and many other related fields of law.

Moreover, whatever the issue, we never forget that we are dealing with human lives. We are committed to bringing a sense of order and assurance, to communicate honestly and directly about the legal issues involved and to maintain full confidentiality at all times.

Our lawyers deal effectively with the individual and institutional issues of elder care. Our clients are elderly individuals and their families (either directly or in guardianship situations), and long-term care facilities and hospitals that provide the elderly with nursing and medical care. Such experience on both sides of elder care matters enables us to combine effective legal and institutional knowledge to provide counsel on medical care funding, resolving difficult issues of providing or withholding care and handling financial controversies over Medicare and Medicaid benefits, as well as collection issues and estate plans.
