| Annotation | In the next 20 years, a significant percentage of the US population - the age group known as Baby Boomers - will be classed as older people. Elder law is the legal practice of counselling and representing older people and their representatives about the legal aspects of health and long-term care planning, surrogate decision-making, and older people's legal capacity. Articles in this special issue of the Journal of Mental Health and Aging consider themes from an American perspective as follows: competency and incapacity as used in guardianship proceedings; the impact on those receiving care of changes in Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements; alternatives to guardianship as regards medical decision-making and mediation; and legal issues for those who are chronically ill.
