In this episode of Eldercare Illuminated, Torchlight’s VP of Product, Attorney Carolyn Romano, discusses how Elder Law Attorneys serve families caring for an older loved one or planning for their own futures. Elder Law is a relatively recent legal specialty. Elder Law specialists address the complexities presented by government programs and entitlements, such as Medicare and Medicaid, as families figure out how to best meet their loved one’s needs while tending to their busy work and family lives. Attorney Harry Margolis shares his expertise and experience about the options seniors and their families have in the evolving regulatory environment.
