Here is the publisher’s description (LexisNexis):

As people age, they often face a bewildering array of legal issues, ranging from age discrimination to retirement planning, and elder abuse to assisted suicide. Elder Law: Readings, Cases, and Materials is designed to serve as the main textbook for courses and seminars on the intersection of law and aging. Thoroughly updated with new cases, COLA amounts, and URLs, the Third Edition of Elder Law includes new materials on kinship care giving, grandparent rights, and a lawyer’s duty to incompetent third parties. The authors have also expanded the coverage of SSI. New materials include the Medicare Modernization and Prescription Drug Act of 2003, an update on Social Security reform, expanded coverage of reverse mortgages and subsidized housing for the elderly, and recent tax legislation.

Elder Law is also accompanied by a documentary supplement, Elder Law: Statutes and Regulations. This companion volume contains selected federal and state statutes, uniform acts, federal regulations, the viatical settlements model regulation, and miscellaneous provisions.
