SUMMARY:Elder Law Pre-Planning: Protecting Your Assets & Planning for Long-Term Care
DESCRIPTION:Long-term care is expensive — but planning ahead can protect your savings and give your family peace of mind. \nIn this session\, Partner Christine Brown Murphy will be walking you through the essentials of elder law planning — a topic that touches so many families\, yet one that is often misunderstood or put off until it feels urgent. This is your chance to get ahead of it in a relaxed\, no-pressure setting. \nHere’s a little of what she will cover: \n• Medicaid Benefits Basics – How Medicaid works\, who qualifies\, and what you need to know to plan effectively — whether for yourself or a loved one. \n• Asset Protection Strategies – Practical approaches to preserving what you’ve worked hard to build\, so that your assets go where you intend them to go. \n• Why the Power of Attorney May Be Your Most Important Estate Planning Document – Many people assume it’s the will\, but Attorney Brown will explain why a well-crafted power of attorney can matter even more — and what happens when you don’t have one in place. \nWhether you’re just beginning to think about these issues or are somewhere in the middle of the planning process\, this conversation is designed to meet you where you are. There will be time for questions\, and we encourage you to bring whatever is on your mind. \nTo Register: click HERE
