Elder law

Thanks to advances in technology and modern medicine, the average human life span continues to grow. While this is excellent news, an aging population does bring new challenges. More and more people now find themselves caring for elderly family members — many of whom do not have the proper legal documents in place outlining their wishes in the event they are unable to speak for themselves.

If you are getting older or if you are caring for an aging family member, there is no better time to consult an experienced elder law attorney. At Corbally, Gartland and Rappleyea, LLP, we take the time to speak with and listen to you. When we understand your needs and your family's needs, we use our extensive legal knowledge to advise you regarding these sensitive issues and draft the appropriate documents according to your wishes:

  • Asset protection trusts
  • Powers of attorney
  • Advance healthcare directives
  • Guardianships
