Elder Laws in Arizona.

Arizona elder-law issues often involve guardianships and conservatorships, powers of attorney, advance directives, long-term-care planning, vulnerable-adult protection, and benefits coordination. Arizona guardianships and conservatorships run through the superior court under Title 14, and Arizona has distinct civil and criminal elder-abuse provisions.
