Encompasses Uniform Federal Law and the Unique Aspects of Maryland Law

Even more than most areas of the law, elder law tends to be state specific. In Maryland, long-term medical care regulations, health care decision making, and guardianship are just a few of the areas in which state law cannot be subsumed in general statements of majority rules or hornbook law. Yet, at the same time, uniform federal law governs Social Security issues and various consumer protection statutes and housing assistance programs. Elder Law in Maryland provides guidance to both applicable federal law and the unique aspects of Maryland elder law.

Practical, Comprehensive Guidance for the Maryland Practitioner

In a single, concise volume, Elder Law in Maryland accurately renders elder law as it currently exists in Maryland.
