Elder law refers to the area of legal practice pertaining to issues that affect older clients (usually those over 60 years of age). The three primary focuses of elder law include:
Estate planning
Medicaid, social security, disability and long-term care
Guardianship
As one approaches the end of his or her life, issues related to what he or she will do with their belongings once they are gone become a greater focus. This includes not only the preparation and administration of a will, but also advising the elder client and his or her family about the tax consequences of different inheritance strategies, including establishing trusts, the use and purpose of a living will, and any other matters that could affect the elder’s personal or estate interests at the end of his or her life.
Frank Ehman brings over 10 years of experience with the U.S. Social Security Administration to the firm’s elder law and estate planning clients. His skills and experience have enhanced the firm’s existing estate planning law practice.

Corporate Transparency Act Reporting Requirements Back in Effect with Extended Reporting
Deadline; FinCEN Announces Intention to Revise Reporting Rule
Following the February 18, 2025, decision by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Smith, et al. v. U.S. Department of the Treasury, et al., 6:24-cv-00336, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) has announced that beneficial ownership information (BOI) reporting requirements under the Corporate Transparency Act are back in effect, with a new deadline of March 21, 2025 for most companies.
FinCEN has also announced that it will assess its options to further modify deadlines, while prioritizing reporting for those entities that pose the most significant national security risks. FinCEN intends to initiate a process this year to revise the BOI reporting rule to reduce burden for lower-risk entities, including many U.S. small businesses.
