Delray Beach, FL August 1, 2019: Mindy Felinton, founder of Felinton Elder Law & Estate Planning Centers, has posted a new article on her law firm's website entitled "Understanding The Purpose Of Elder Care Law," in which Ms. Felinton explains the advantages of working with an attorney educated in this area of law.

Felinton writes, "Many people are not aware of this relatively new area of the law created to specifically serve the needs of the elderly and disabled as well as their families." She adds, "Elder Care Law emerged due to our prolonged life expectancy."

"Because we humans are living longer," explains Felinton, "we are facing more and more complicated issues. Estate planning, disability, health care, retirement, taxes, financial planning, abuse and discrimination issues can, and often do arise in the elder years." She elaborates, "It is important to know your rights and seek counseling and advice when needed. When dealing with legal issues that pertain to the elderly, it is wise to seek counseling from a lawyer who practices 'Elder Law'."
