Elder Care Legal Plan
There are about 45 million Americans over the age of 60 and approximately every seven (7) seconds another American turns 55. As you might expect from these statistics, elder law is one of the fastest growing segments in the legal arena.
Elder law is not one specific type of law, but a wide range of legal areas that focus on issues specific to older Americans. Elder law is not just for senior citizens though, as it deals with issues that aging baby boomers should be aware of as well.
Legal Club has a network of over 20,000 attorneys in all 50 states that are contracted to provide our members with free and discounted legal care. Many of our attorneys specialize in the area of Elder Care and as such can provide our elder members and their families with the legal care they need. As members, they will be entitled to numerous free and discounted services provided by our attorneys.

Quite often as elderly persons get their affairs in order, they will need to update their wills and trusts and may even find themselves in a situation where filing for bankruptcy is necessary. Many elderly will sell their homes and down size or move into an adult community living facility later on in life. Our plan attorneys can make these processes inexpensive and painless.
Capped Hourly Rate
Legal Club plan attorneys contract to never charge more than $125.00 per hour, or when appropriate, provide a 40% discount off their usual and customary hourly rate, for legal care that goes beyond the free and discounted services. This is where tremendous savings is realized. After the free letters, calls and consultations take place, members and their attorneys will have to decide what course of action to take next. In most cases, members will have no choice and litigation may ensue. This is the point in time that Legal Club plan attorneys charge the reduced hourly rate for legal care. This represents as much as a 66% savings off an attorneys usual hourly charge.
Many of the attorneys who practice in the field of elder law frequently work with doctors, social workers, long term care professionals and financial planners in an effort to maximize their client's outcomes.
Membership includes the member, their spouse, any children and any dependents living with the member that may be financially dependent upon them, such as a live in companion, grandchild or elderly friend.
