Start with the decision in front of you
Medicaid planning
A parent may need long-term care and the family needs to understand eligibility, spend-down, and timing.
Medi-Cal planning
California families searching for care payment help need state-specific terminology and guidance.
Nursing home costs
When care bills start arriving, legal and facility decisions often need to be reviewed together.
Guardianship
If a loved one can no longer sign documents or make decisions, court authority may be part of the question.
How ElderLawLocator builds trust
Source transparency
Listings show whether the attorney was found through board certification, State Bar legal specialty data, elder law sections, or other practice signals.
Active-license focus
The directory is built around active attorney records and elder-law-relevant source tags, with stronger signals sorted first.
Family decision context
Pages explain the practical issue families are facing, then route them to attorneys, local city pages, and care facility research.
2026 Medicaid limits
Medicaid asset and income limits, state by state

What's different per state
- California removed the asset test in 2024
- Texas, Georgia, and Ohio use income caps and QITs
