Elder Law is a relatively new and fast growing field of law that deals with specific legal issues faced by the elderly population. Elder law combines elements of Estate Planning, Trusts, Wills, Medicaid Planning, Nursing Home Planning, and Guardianship/Conservatorship. In addition, elder law deals with disability planning, including use of durable powers of attorney, living trusts, living wills and other means of delegating management to another in case of incompetency or incapacity. It is important for attorneys dealing with the elderly to have a unique understanding of the laws that may have an impact on the elderly. Using a holistic approach, Elder law attorney Evan H. Farr brings a knowledge and understanding of the elderly that works to ensure the elder's right to quality care and  treatment.

Ask a lot of questions before selecting an Elder law attorney as most do not specialize in every one of the specific legal areas. Some questions might be "How long has the attorney been in practice?" and " What percentage of his/her practice is devoted to elder law?" and "What elder law matters he/she has handled in the past and currently?" It is important that you hire an attorney who regularly handles matters in your area of concern and knows about the other areas of law that might impact this decision. It is also equally important to choose an attorney who you are comfortable talking with and who seems to share an empathy of the elder's real life problems.
