Advice for seniors who are ready, and excited, to start their next chapter

11/28/2025

I am very happy to welcome Joseph Famulari, who is joining me here at 84 Barrie Street to begin his law practice; Joseph grew up in Schomberg, is familiar with the area and local life, has been well trained in real estate transactions, and even played soccer in Bradford. I believe he fits very nicely into our community.

After over 40 years of serving clients in South Simcoe, York Region and beyond, I often reflect on the wonderful clients I have the opportunity to serve; many have matured with me, and even retired; I have the privilege of seeing your children and grandchildren grow and succeed. In recent years I have reduced the real estate portion of my practice significantly and arranged for other offices to look after my clients’ real estate work when needed, so that I could prioritize my little people. Famulari Law will now be available to look after those real estate needs here.

Thank you for your continued trust in my office; we are confident that Famulari Law will be a valuable asset for our local legal community and our clients.

Elder Abuse … Food for Thought … Please be Alert. Elder Abuse is more than just the obvious physical assault and blatant thefts. It includes the sudden re-appearance of the grandchild who has had no time for years ... because now there are assets to be managed, or the welcome better-late-than-never visits with papers for Grandma to sign ... because it should be “blood” who looks after things instead of the honest, reliable friend who has been there to help out for years, expecting nothing in return. After the paper is signed, and the newly loving grandchild goes back to their busy life, who will be there for the next medical appointment, grocery shopping, or emergency TV reset … not likely the recently attentive grandchild with the signed Power of Attorney in hand.

We know people are feeling out of sorts working from home, not able to do the face to face things they're used to, eating out, partying ... We all look back to the "normal" and look forward to its return.

I find myself reminding people that they are not “stuck” at home, they are safe at home, so stay there if you have no other place that requires you. If you think this is government induced “hell”, your issue likely isn’t geography ... many people, including my parents, have lived through worse, for longer periods of time ... we are social creatures, and no one likes distancing and isolation, but it’s much better than stepping over bodies in the rubble after any other "plague" or war.

It will get better.
