Elder law is a legal practice area that focuses on the unique legal needs of seniors and their families. Elder law attorneys handle a wide range of legal issues that affect seniors, including estate planning, Medicaid planning, guardianship, and long-term care.

At Salish Elder Law, we are dedicated to providing high-quality legal services to seniors and their families. We have a deep understanding of the legal issues that affect seniors and can provide personalized and comprehensive legal guidance to help our clients achieve their goals.

Whether you are seeking to create an estate plan, or protect your assets from the high cost of long-term care we are here to help. We take the time to understand your situation and provide the legal support and guidance you need to protect your interests and those of your loved ones.

If you have legal needs related to aging or elder care, we invite you to contact our firm for a consultation. We are here to provide the assistance and support you need to navigate the legal landscape and ensure that your rights and interests are protected.

We understand that legal issues related to aging and elder care are not just for seniors. In fact, our services include a wide range of legal services that can benefit clients of all ages.

For example, we offer comprehensive estate planning services that can help clients of any age create a plan to protect their assets and ensure that their wishes are carried out in the event of their death or incapacitation. This includes the use of legal tools such as Wills, Trusts, Powers of Attorney, and Advanced Directives to create a customized plan that meets the specific needs and goals of each client.

In addition to estate planning, we also offer services such as probate, trust administration, and long-term care planning. These services can be beneficial not only to seniors, but to younger clients as well. For example, probate can be important for anyone who has recently lost a loved one and needs help settling their estate, and long-term care planning can be useful for anyone who is concerned about protecting their assets from the high cost of nursing home care.
