Elder law can cover aspects of estate planning, retirement planning, long term care planning, medical costs, health care costs, elder financial abuse, etc. Estate planning is often summarized by the questions "Who gets my assets after I die?" and "How do I avoid the costs of probate?" There is a lot more involved in estate planning.

Mr. Ward is also available to speak to private groups about Estate Planning, Elder Law and Medi-Cal Planning. Our estate planning seminar workshops typically go for a 90-minute period with a break after the first hour.
Elder law is a term for the legal practice area that generally covers those issues that affect the growing population of aging citizens. The term was rarely used even ten years ago, so it is understandable that there is some confusion around it. Elder law can cover aspects of estate planning, retirement planning, long term care planning, medical costs, health care costs, nursing home neglect, elder financial abuse, etc.
Medi-Cal is California's name for what is known as Medicaid in most states. While Medicare is the same everywhere, Medicaid differs from state to state and California is very different than the other 49 states. Remember that Medi-Cal is a term used only in California, and researching the laws of other states will give you information that is not correct for California Medi-Cal.
Estate planning is often summarized by the questions "Who gets my assets after I die?" and "How do I avoid the costs of probate?" Estate planning, though, is really much more than that, and the primary reason for the rapid growth in probate litigation is that planning documents are not valid or are not clear.
