Preemptive Estate Planning Strategies, Essential Legal Documents, and Avoidable  Pitfalls

Attorney Jessica Greene, CELA,* LL.M. in Elder Law will explain how helping to plan now can avoid financial stress and complications later:

• Why are too many power of attorney documents surprisingly useless when trying to preserve assets at a time of crisis?
• How should an agent be appointed if one child is better with a checkbook and another is better with medical issues?
• Why is a parent’s revocable living trust not as helpful as they might expect?
• What are the limitations of a pre-nuptial agreement with long-term care needs in second marriages?
• What is the purpose of a trust, the right time to create it, and the best asset to put in it?
• What is the risk of a parent funding a grandchild’s college education since the accountant said up to $14,000 to any person should be OK and not reportable to the government?
• Under what circumstances must a child pay for a parent’s care, and how can planning prevent that?
