One of the founders of the practice known as Elder Law and a specialist in guardianship and estate planning, Frolik here describes how the law regulates and reacts to health care and personal decision making for the elderly. Some readers will find answers to their specific questions here, he hopes, and others will at least get a better sense of the landscape they are traversing and some direction for further research. He covers paying for health care, including long-term care; long-term care housing options; legal implications of mental incapacity: guardianship, conservatorship, and powers of attorney; and end-of-life decision making.
