The Elder Law and Special Needs Planning Group consists of two committees that focus on legal concerns of the elderly and persons with disabilities.

Elder Law and Long-Term Care

The Elder Law and Special Needs Planning Group Committee on Elder Law and Long-Term Care focuses on the legal concerns of the elderly and issues related to long-term care. Committee chairs and committee members are frequently asked to advise the Section leadership on policy positions to be adopted by the ABA House of Delegates. The Committees have been active in presenting CLE programs and in authoring articles for Probate & Property and the Real Property, Trust and Estate Journal. Interested committee members have numerous opportunities to participate in projects and to present their own ideas for projects. We invite you to meet the chairs, check out the webpages for the three committees, and use the numerous links provided. We encourage your participation in committee activities and hope you will join one or all of them.

Special Needs Planning

The Special Needs Planning committee focuses on legal and future planning for individuals with disabilities and their families.
