Message from the President, Evan Farr We are pleased to present you with the 2013 Membership & Resource Directory for the Virginia Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (VAELA), a chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. Our hope is that this site will be of value to you, whether you are searching for an Elder Law attorney to assist you or a loved one, or just browsing the web for basic information. The members of VAELA are dedicated to serving the needs of seniors, the disabled, and their families. The elderly and disabled often face a multitude of legal issues, and our knowledgeable and compassionate attorneys can provide the specialized service and advice needed to sort through those issues, from basic powers of attorney and wills to the complex issues involved in obtaining and preserving eligibility for Medicaid and other public benefits. VAELA is dedicated to helping its members hone their skills as elder law attorneys and increase their knowledge base. One of the ways VAELA assists its members is by sponsoring ongoing education, including an annual "UnProgram." The UnProgram provides our members with a two-day collegial forum to discuss any issues and questions that are relevant to the practice of elder law, and in-depth discussions of recent changes in the law. The UnProgram also provides an unparalleled opportunity for new elder law attorneys to participate in discussions with the best and brightest of the Virginia elder law field, to better understand such topics as Medicaid planning, special needs trusts, nursing home admissions and discharges, estate planning, guardianship and protective proceedings, fiduciary litigation, and much, much more. Please contact VAELA or any of our members qualified to assist you and your family with your specialized legal needs.

How to Find an Elder Law Attorney utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www.aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can be a good resource so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs.
The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: ■ What will it take to resolve this issue? ■ How long has the attorney been practicing? ■ What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? ■ How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? ■ How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? ■ If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? ■ Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? ■ Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? ■ What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? ■ What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? For more information visit www.naela.org or www.nelf.org.

Health & Long-Term Care Elder Law attorneys often work with a professional geriatric care man- ager to help identify the necessary services and appropriate level of care for the individual client, and help the client to get that care in the appropriate setting. The Elder Law attorney can review available sources of payment assistance, including private or employerprovided health insurance, Medicare, Social Security Disability Income, Medicare supple- ment policies, Medicare prescription drug benefits, Veterans’ Benefits, Medicaid benefits and long term care insurance. When a client requires long-term nursing home care, we can assist with such issues as reviewing the nursing home admission agreement prior to signing, preventing improper discharge from the facility, and ensuring that the client receives necessary and appropriate services.
If t he client may need Medicaid benefits in order to pay for long term care, the Elder Law attorney can help the client develop a financial plan that will comply with local eligibility rules to qualify for Medicaid. Although some hospital and nursing home staff also offer assistance in completing the Medicaid application, they are not qualified to advise or assist the client in determining how to achieve eligibility. Many Elder Law attorneys advise clients with respect to benefits available through the Department of Veterans Affairs, including the improved pension benefits often referred to as “Aid & Attendance” or “Housebound” benefits.We can also determine whether the client may be eligible for other benefits as a qualified veteran or as a surviving spouse of a veteran.
