July 2018 Luncheon Meeting

Crucial Estate Planning Issues for Elders:

Powers of Attorneys, Long-Term Care Planning, and Medi-Cal

Speaker: Alma Soongi-Beck

Meeting Description

Are your clients or loved ones age 60 or older, and concerned about being able to afford long-term care in the home or elsewhere? Are they concerned about the government coming after their home or assets if they enroll in Medi-Cal to help pay for health care or long-term skilled nursing? This session will debunk myths about Medi-Cal and long-term care options, highlight real risks, and explain how estate planning documents can protect the client's family. We will also cover special issues for married, unmarried, and same-sex couples.

1.5 hours CFP CE is available for this session pending approval by the CFP Board.

Featured Partner: Scott Pyes, Natixis
