How elder law works in New Jersey
Elder law focuses on the legal needs of older adults and their families: paying for long-term care, Medicaid eligibility, guardianship, special needs trusts and protecting a spouse who stays at home.
Nursing home care in New Jersey is expensive, and Medicaid rules on income, assets and transfers are strict. Planning early, ideally well before care is needed, gives families more options.
Questions to ask a lawyer
- Are you a Certified Elder Law Attorney?
- What can we still do if care is needed soon?
- Who prepares and follows up on the Medicaid application?
