The Pennsylvania Bar Institute has announced the July 2019 publication of the 5th Edition of Elder Law in Pennsylvania. The book is widely recognized as the most comprehensive treatise on elder law in Pennsylvania.
Elder Law focuses on the laws, regulations and legal planning that are of critical importance to the elderly and people with special needs.

- VA Aid & Attendance benefit rules
- Medicare Advantage plan changes

- Medicaid planning techniques
- Community Health Choices
- new orphans’ court rules and forms
- Medical Assistance applications
