The Fourth Edition of Elder Law in Colorado (formerly the Colorado Handbook of Elder Law)is a comprehensive desk reference for attorneys who may be either new or experienced in the field of elder law. It is intended to carry on the tradition of being an important resource for elder law practitioners throughout Colorado. The book is the culmination of an incredible amount of time and effort by our authors, who represent some of the finest elder law attorneys, both in Colorado and the nation.
This Fourth Edition covers a wide variety of topics, from how to start an elder law practice to estate planning, probate, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, elder abuse, and much, much more. This is by far the most comprehensive edition of the Elder Law in Colorado ever published.
