 How Does the New POLST Law Impact Seniors? As of January 1, 2013 New Jersey had adopted the Uniform Physician’s Order for Life Sustaining Treatment Statute. The statute impacts everyone who has a living will/ advance directive, but it is also relevant alternative for people who have not executed such documents.
An Introduction to Basic Estate Planning Documents - This is a talk designed to introduce listeners to some of the basic services that attorneys can provide to seniors with ample time allowed for questions and answers.
Family Members as Fiduciaries: Knowing Who to Choose - Executors, trustees, and agents named under our Power of Attorney are fiduciaries, a legal class of persons with a heightened legal duty to you, the person who named them. Too often though, we choose family members for these jobs so as not to hurt their feelings with little consideration to whether they have what it takes to fulfill the fiduciary role.
Knowing When to Update Your Estate Documents - Estate documents need to be updated periodically and this talk helps listeners to understand when updating needs to be done.
Religious Perspectives on Elder Law Issues -This talk focuses on how personal religious beliefs as to end-of-life issues can be incorporated into estate documents.
All of our presentations are lively and inter-active. Please contact us to schedule a presentation for your group.
