Download or read book Ettinger on Elder Law Estate Planning written by Michael Ettinger and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Elder Law Estate Planning" is a niche area of law which combines the features of elder law and estate planning that pertain most to the needs of the middle class. In 1991, AARP published a "Consumer Report on Probate" concluding that probate was a process to be avoided. That marked the end of traditional will planning and started the "living trust revolution." Since then, millions of people have set up trusts to: * Save time and money in settling the estate * Avoid legal guardianship if they become disabled * Avoid having their personal and financial matters made public * Reduce the chance of a "will contest" * Keep control in the family and out of the court system By 1990, the field of elder law also emerged to help people navigate the increased complexity of state Medicaid rules and regulations, the soaring costs of nursing home stays, and the fact that people were living considerably longer. Elder law and estate planning continue to grow independently of each other, sometimes to the detriment of clients. Estate planning lawyers are of little value when the estate plan to avoid probate fails to prevent a nursing home stay consuming all of the assets, because the lawyer is unfamiliar with elder law. On the other hand, elder law attorneys often protect assets but overlook basic estate planning issues such as saving taxes and keeping assets in the blood. The practice of Elder Law Estate Planning means: * Getting your assets to your heirs, in the best possible way, with least amount of taxes and legal fees * Keeping those assets in the blood for your grandchildren, and * Protecting your assets from the costs of long-term care and qualifying for government benefits available to pay for care. Middle class clients today need an "elder law estate planning attorney" to address their estate planning needs as well as to help with long-term care, disability and Medicaid issues as they arise.

Download or read book The Law of Aging written by Andrey Milvidskiy Esq and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some people age so "gracefully"? They're the people whose lives seem to fall into place easily as they age. Their physical needs are met, they have plenty of resources with which to enjoy their "golden years"...and when they pass, their children and heirs manage what's "left behind" with seemingly instinctive skill and grace. But we also know far too many people in the opposite place: facing physical needs that overwhelm them, financial obligations that necessitate selling off personal possessions or even their very homes, and stress from children and heirs arguing about "who's going to get what" even before they're gone. How to have the first in your life, and not the second? It all comes down to a plan. The Law of Aging is chock-full of information designed to help you take the important first (and subsequent) steps toward making that plan...and implementing it to suit your needs, your family situations, and your future. With this as your road map and guidebook, you'll be well on your way to that "graceful" aging-and priceless peace of mind-we all want.
