Whether or not you want to
obtain the services of an attorney will probably depend on how much work you are
planning on doing with some of these legal issues. There are many ways to get
free information and simple do-it-yourself legal documents if you want to try to
do this without the aid of an attorney. Consider using the Internet, your local
library or some government agencies that concern themselves with the ill and
aging.
Please remember, however, that
it is very important to know the law before you and the senior make any
important decisions. You may want to consider doing your homework and then
consulting an attorney. This will keep your legal costs down but assure you
that there will be no expensive or painful surprises later.
Here is just a small sample
of the kinds of questions you may want to consider:
 |
· Is the
senior getting the most out of their health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid,
disability and prescription coverage? |
|
|
· How
can I make certain that I have the appropriate legal power to make prompt
medical and financial decisions if needed? |
|
|
· How
exactly should the senior set up a living will and durable power of
attorney? |
|
|
· Is the
senior getting the full benefit from investments or Social Security and will
these benefits be passed along to survivors with a minimum of problems and
expense? |
|
|
· How
will I know when to ask a judge to appoint a guardian or conservator to
handle the affairs of an incapacitated senior? |
|
|
· Are
all the necessary legal documents in order? Are these the correct documents
I need to accomplish the senior's desires and avoid unnecessary taxes or
legal hang-ups? |
Most attorneys are capable of
helping you with legal issues relating to trusts, insurance, investments,
disability and so on. Elder law is a legal specialty that concerns itself
with seniors and their caregivers.
No matter if you chose to
consult an attorney or not, please understand the necessity of completing the
proper legal documentation. It will only take a few simple steps for a senior to
protect his/her home or savings from being depleted to pay for long term care.
