Long Term Care Planning Workshops (Continued)
By Janet Taylor
There are several upcoming workshops locally in Cayuga County, NY that will provide an opportunity to learn more about these issues facing seniors and their loved ones.
An elder law seminar, "Asset Preservation and Estate Planning," will be presented by the law firm of Karpinski, Stapleton, Galbato and Tehan, PC
and the Cayuga County Office for the Aging. Topics to be covered include: estate planning, the benefits of a will, avoiding probate, tax implications, the
importance of a health care proxy, power of attorney and DNR, the benefits of trusts, protecting your family from loss of assets, different ways of
financing long-term care, types and benefits of long-term care insurance. This free seminar will be held from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, at the Cayuga Onondaga BOCES. Register by Monday, April 7, by calling
BOCES at 253-4899 or the Office for the Aging at 253-1017.
A long-term care insurance information seminar, presented by the Cayuga County Office for the Aging, will be held at noon Wednesday, April 23, in
Seymour Library in Auburn. This free program will discuss long-term care issues, financing options and long-term care insurance choices. These seminars are scheduled at various locations monthly throughout the county
. To reserve a seat, contact Brenda Wiemann at 253-1017.
The Elder Law Section of the New York State Bar Association is offering a free senior law clinic for Cayuga County seniors from 10 a.m. to noon
Saturday, April 26, at the First United Methodist Church in Auburn. Attorneys with expertise in a variety of legal areas will be available for individual consultation to answer questions on legal issues facing older
adults. Advance registration is required by calling the Cayuga County Office for the Aging at 253-1226.
Many family members may not understand how crucial their loved ones'
estate planning is and how it may impact their own financial status in the future. It is important to have the "tough" conversations about financial,
legal, health care and long-term care issues sooner rather than later. In the midst of a crisis, you will be glad you did.
