In Richmond’s diverse community, elder law provides vital protections for aging residents — from asset planning to elder abuse prevention. These tools help protect seniors’ interests while preserving family resources. California’s elder law framework offers multiple approaches to securing seniors’ rights and assets.
The scope of elder law extends beyond basic legal protections to address the full spectrum of aging-related concerns.
