Orr & Reno, P.A.

Recent Supreme Court decision in ElderTrust case
Our client ElderTrust of Florida, Inc. recently won an important victory in the New Hampshire Supreme Court. ElderTrust owns and operates a skilled nursing home and an assisted living facility in Epsom, New Hampshire. The town denied ElderTrust a charitable tax exemption on both facilities and ElderTrust challenged the denial and prevailed in superior court.

The town appealed, and the Supreme Court, in a decision issued on January 18, 2007, took the occasion to enunciate a four-part test that charitable organizations must satisfy to be entitled to a tax exemption. The court ruled that ElderTrust met the test and it affirmed the superior court decision.
