Elder Laws in Wyoming.

Wyoming elder law sits at the intersection of federal programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security) and Wyoming's guardianship, power-of-attorney, and long-term-care statutes. Wyoming's guardianship and conservatorship framework is at Wyo. Stat. § 3-1 et seq. Wyoming's Medical Power of Attorney (Wyo. Stat. § 35-22-401 et seq.) and Living Will (Wyo. Stat. § 35-22-401) are integrated into the Wyoming Health Care Decisions Act.
