Parents of 2021 seniors and parents of young adults should listen to this podcast so their child is prepared in the event of an unforeseen emergency or crisis. Laura Ergood is an experienced Elder, Trust, & Estate Law Attorney who has been serving clients in South Jersey for over 20 years. Circumstances change as we age. We start to have new financial challenges, we may decide it's time to move into a nursing home, an assisted living community, or simply hire some in-home help.
Protecting your assets to pay for long term care and to leave to your heirs starts to weigh heavily. Planning for these changes is what Elder Law assistance is for. The death of a family member can cause many different emotions in different people, and can result in clashes among family.
Still, accomplishing the many necessary tasks can be a burden, including probating the Will, providing notices to heirs, taking inventory of the estate assets, properly valuing the assets, opening an estate bank account, and paying estate bills.
