May 2023 Sivia Segment: Celebrating Elder Law Month

May 4, 2023

This month, we are excited to recognize and celebrate National Elder Law Month! National Elder Law Month exists as a way to acknowledge our role in supporting and educating the senior community in areas of legal planning.

Elder law and estate planning are often confused with each other. Admittedly, they are akin to each other, but here’s the key difference: elder law is about planning for what happens when a senior is still alive and estate planning is about planning for what happens after someone passes away.

Have you (or your elderly loved one) considered who will sign important documents should you become incapacitated? Have you thought about how you would afford the cost of long-term care? Do you have a plan in place that utilizes Veterans & Medicaid benefits? Are you aware of the many rules and regulations that concern the legal needs of seniors?

These are just a few (of many) things to think about as it pertains to elder law; thus, reflecting the importance of planning ahead.

If you are interested in learning more about how to better plan for you and your family, contact us here - we would love to help guide you through this transition!
