The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA) has designated May as National Elder Law Month. In 2026, the theme is “Protecting Rights, Fighting Scams.”
Our attorneys at Grosskopf & Burch, along with elder law attorneys across the country, aim to use this month to educate those in our communities about the resources available to assist them to prevent fraud and protect what matters most to them.
During National Elder Law Month, take time to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters with proactive planning, informed decisions, and guidance from our team to help protect what matters most. Knowledge is your first line of defense — planning with one of our elder law attorneys is your next step.
