House Scams
Every so often a client will ask whether a letter they received is a scam, or not. There are a few we have seen many times, but they look so real if it is your first experience. It’s scary!

Not every estate plan is the same. It is important to consult with an elder law attorney to determine what best fits your wishes, and circumstances. But there is one document that anyone with a spouse on Medicaid (Title 19) must have. A Last Will! But probably not the one you already have.

Gifting and the Lookback
Medicaid is a program that can pay for care, whether at home or in a facility. When in need of Medicaid funds to pay for such care, you must submit an application. This allows the Department of Social Services to review whether you have a need for care (the physical assessment) and whether you can afford that care yourself (the financial review).

My Shadow

The riddle of the Sphinx. What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night? The answer is a human, who changes from a crawling baby to an upright adult to an elder with a cane, in the twilight of their days. It is amazing how accurate this answer is. Life is ever changing, but in many ways we revert to the original foundations. I recently had a conversation with a client, whose husband is progressing in his dementia. I have heard and experienced that conversation a thousand times. But now, being a mother of two toddlers, I was personally struck by the similarities between my life, and hers. We are both caregivers. We are just on different sides of life.

Decluttering
After decades of living in one home, many people find themselves surrounded not only by memories, but the physical manifestations they come with. The unintended consequences of saving everything from children’s drawings to old coats is a home filled to the gills. Open the spare bedroom and tell me if it has actually become a walk in closet? Go down to the basement and check if it is more of a storage shed now? It is time to declutter. This may seem like strange legal advice, but I assure you it is.

When You Lose a Partner

Losing a spouse is one of life’s most painful experiences. When that spouse was also the one who managed the family’s finances, the grief can be compounded by confusion, fear, and uncertainty.

Reverse Mortgages
The words Reverse Mortgage can feel scary. Many home owners fear these, believing that a reverse mortgage is the first step towards losing the home. That has happened to some families, but there are many myths about what a reverse mortgage is, and what benefits it might give. Allow me to explain.

Fast Cars & Freedom
Your car is your freedom. This allows you to socialize, work, run errands, and explore without the need to rely on someone else’s busy schedule. For most of us, getting a driver’s license at the earliest possible age was therefore a necessity. So consider what it must feel like to be told that part of your life is over. You have to rely on your spouse, or kids, or dial-a-ride to pick you up. You have to wait endlessly when they are not available. You have to order grocery delivery and hope they pick good produce and keep it at the top of the bag. Your ability to do what you want is no longer in your hands. That is a very bitter pill.
