May is National Elder Law Month.

No elderly person should have to suffer from abuse of any kind. Now is a good time for the elderly to get informed about their legal options for all sorts of things, according to News 4 San Antonio in "Protecting senior citizens from abuse and providing legal services."

May is National Elder Law Month. In many localities, attorneys and senior advocates offer free seminars during the month, so people can learn about relevant services available in their areas. If there are no informational events going on in your area, you can still learn about your options by visiting with an elder law attorney.

The attorney will not only know about legal services for elderly people but other things as well. Most attorneys who specialize in elder law, keep informed about other services for the elderly in their communities, so they can help their clients with an appropriate referral, when needed.

An elder law attorney can advise you on the benefits and rights of the elderly.
