Dinner Conversations at the Holidays: Do I Need an Estate Planning or Elder Law Attorney?

The Holidays often represent the best – and, for some, ONLY – time in the year that you can have a meaningful, face-to-face discussion about planning.

This is especially true when parents or other family members are aging and may need help in later years.

In this show, Life Happens hosts Lou Pierro, Peter Strauss and Caryn Keppler discuss the best ways to get these conversations started. Plus: they answer the question: “Do I need to see an estate planning attorney or an elder law attorney? What’s the difference?”

Other questions to consider:

“Are we closing out the year with up-to-date documents that make our wishes clear?”

“Have we made plans to protect what we have – our home, retirement and life-savings?”

“What plans are in place to take care of children and grandchildren?”

“How do our plans enable us to cover the cost of long-term care, whether at home or in a facility?”
