Book excerpt: Elder Law: Practice, Policy, and Problems is designed with the teacher and learner in mind. It combines a client-focused approach with in-depth discussions of elder law related policy issues. Designed to be simultaneously practical and theoretical, it provides students with specific legal knowledge and a conceptual framework for understanding key issues facing older adults and the attorneys who represent them. The author’s narrative frames a series of primary materials including cases, statutes, regulations, and sample documents, as well as excerpts from articles designed to stimulate student thinking and discussion. Problems and hypothetical exercises—many of which relate to client counseling—ask students to imagine themselves in the role of the elder law attorney, and to describe how they would handle various scenarios, such as a client meeting. In addition, questions in each section prompt students to critique key policies and thereby test their understanding of those policies. New to the Second Edition: Comprehensive updates that capture changes in law and policy, including major revisions to nursing home regulations, new developments in guardianship law, and an emerging line of cases on age discrimination in hiring New coverage of: family caregiving and caregivers’ rights “Gray divorce” and its implications for policy design and planning Supported decision-making Social service interventions that address elder abuse Professors and students will benefit from: Very clearly organized content A client-centered approach Integrated discussion of policy and current issues supported by relevant cases, statutes, regulations, sample documents, and commentaries. All relevant statutory material being within the casebook, meaning there is no need to require a separate statutory supplement Practice problems of varying difficulty that encourage students to apply what they are learning to realistic client-focused hypothetical scenarios Questions throughout the text that prompt critical thinking, and prepare students to engage in classroom discussion Exercises that can be used for either independent or in-class assignments

Babylon The "Listen to Lawrence" model where Lawrence Davidow educates and enlightens his audiences has grown from local Listen to Lawrence seminars to a widely distributed electronic newsletter (The Listen to Lawrence Letter) that answers commonly asked questions to a Listen to Lawrence podcast series and now this Listen to Lawrence book.

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 Elder Law written by Mike E. Jorgensen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter of this book introduces basic demographics about our elderly, in order to establish an understanding of the aging population. An understanding of who the elderly are, where they reside, and the trends of health, life expectancy and social arrangements will help increase an awareness of policy, history and future concerns. Chapters Two, Three, Four, Five and Six concern mental capacity issues and discuss subjects as what is capacity, what causes incapacity, what are the warning signs, how does the elder law attorney make an assessment of the client's capacity? The discussion then evolves into informed consent, the physician's duty to inform, self autonomy, and the right to privacy. The right to privacy is a introduction into medical advance directives, including the living will and surrogate decision makers. In the discussion, issues of due process in "capacity" versus " commitment hearings" are developed, and the differences between commitment hearings and capacity hearings. When someone lacks capacity and they have not planned with proper directives, then we discuss an overview of guardianship and the legal process necessary to protect due process and making the process the least restrictive means necessary to provide a surrogate decision maker. In Chapter Seven we discuss health care issues and the history of our health care system today. What is an HMO and a PPO? What is the difference between managed care and fee-for-service plans. In Chapter Eight we introduce Medicare, eligibility, deductibles and co-payments, spells of illness and levels of skilled care. In Chapter Nine we learn about private health insurance and basics of ERISA, long term care insurance and the policy concerns of privatizing Social Security. In the next chapter, Chapter Ten, we begin the learning of Medicaid and we discuss eligibility, Miller Trusts, and the basics of planning. Chapter Eleven is dedicated to "special needs trusts" and the importance of having such trusts in the limited situations where needed. In Chapter Twelve, we introduce employment issues that affect the elderly and aging, from employment discrimination to an introduction to disability discrimination. In Chapter Thirteen, we evolve into planning for our estates and the disposition of property. Although the majority of taxpayers will not need "estate and gift" transfer taxation protection, most people still require a knowledge of estate planning and the proper alternatives for estate planning. Chapter Fourteen introduces the ugly side of elder law and a discussion of nursing home litigation and elder abuse generally. We learn about the Protective Service Act and the reporting requirements by statute. This chapter leads into Chapter Fifteen which concerns domestic issues, including an introduction into the Troxel issues of grandparent visitation and adoption. Chapters Sixteen and Seventeen concern transportation issue and housing issues, respectively. When should a driver's license be revoked and has society planned for alternate forms of transportation or city development to provide necessary mobility and access to mobility for those who are restricted to public transportation. Chapter Seventeen discusses the issues of whether the elderly should be provided property tax reductions and exemptions to allow the elderly to age in place, rather than lose their homes to tax increases and burdens. We also introduce the ability to the elderly to form communities that restrict the age requirements of the community and whether such restrictions are contrary to anti- discrimination laws.
