Difference between Elder law and Estate planning - Avvo.com
Here are some basic considerations to help you decide whether you need an Elder law attorney or an Estate planning attorney
An Elder Law will likely focus on:
Plan for lifetime,
In-home care,
Living arrangements (Assisted living facilities, skilled nursing, independent living),
Support structure,
Cost of placement,
Family needs,
Public benefits available.
An Estate Planning will focus more on issues such as:

Explaining how assets may be passed to your heir(s).
