Elder Law and Later-Life Legal Planning

Focusing on the legal issues that can arise in old age and the various laws and governmental programs that address those issues, this book is organized in three parts that reflect the different stages of aging. Retirement Considerations discusses income issues and paying for medical care; Post-Retirement Issues addresses topics such as housing and identifying decision makers for their property and person; and Later Life Concerns covers issues associated with the end of life, including long-term care and planning for the possible loss of mental capacity.
