Last updated on February 28, 2024
Elder law concerns the rights and options of senior citizens and their family members. This area of law can seem daunting, especially if you are grappling with a legal issue while also caring for an elderly loved one. You would benefit from working with an elderly law attorney who can help you understand the law and make the best decisions for you and your loved ones.
This is where we come in. We are Elder Law & Estate Planning Solutions, one of the leading elder law firms in Cabarrus County. Few attorneys have the honor of being board-certified by the North Carolina State Bar. Our attorney, Marjorie J. Brown, however, does.
Ms. Brown is the only certified elder law specialist by the North Carolina State Bar Board of Specialization in the Cabarrus County area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Elder Law

What are the signs of elder abuse and neglect?
If you have a loved one in a long-term care facility, there are certain signs you should watch for that could indicate abuse or neglect. Most commonly, signs include new bruises or injuries, poor hygiene, medication errors, bed sores, behavioral changes and malnourishment or weight loss.
Will Medicare cover the cost of a nursing home?
Medicare will not cover all of the costs associated with long-term care, and depending on your circumstances, it may not cover any of the costs. If you have questions about your situation, we are happy to explain your options.
How can I protect my assets?
The best way to protect your assets as you age is to develop a comprehensive estate plan that protects your assets, secures the future for your loved ones and puts money aside for long-term care or other expenses.
