Lagerlof, LLP’s Elder Law team is dedicated to working with seniors and their family members in all stages of life.   

Our attorneys assist families with estate planning and administration, incapacity planning and asset preservation planning. Each of these planning areas requires unique skills and a depth of knowledge of the law, as well as a commitment to understanding the circumstances of the senior. Our approach is sensitive and respectful to the special challenges seniors face, learning as much as we can about the unique situation of each client and then applying a creative problem-solving approach to explore the options.
