Over forty million people in the United States today are age 65 or older. As a generation, those of us who are over 60 years of age are termed "Older Americans". As Older Americans, we need to carefully think through Estate Planning and Elder Law planning considerations to protect both ourselves and our family.

Estate planning is more than documents. It is about creating a plan that will provide for you and your loved ones in the event of a crisis or at the time of your death. Estate planning serves as a guide to ensure you, and those who matter most to you, will be protected against uncertainty. At Hafford Elder Law Planning, we know how to guide you through the process to reach the results you need.

Everyone needs an advocate when it comes to representing your interests with your family. Our goal is to ensure you know what your options are when it comes to Family Law. While there are solutions that may seem daunting at first, together we can develop a plan that will benefit you and your children.
