Elder and Disability Law in Massachusetts
Author:

(Author)
Sound estate planning guidance
Publisher: Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education
International Order InquiryThe forty-four chapters of this comprehensive manual are organized into five parts, addressing planning for incapacity, public benefits and employment, special issues for disabled children and adults, aging in place, and care in a skilled nursing facility. Hundreds of insights, from Massachusetts' most experienced practitioners, bring clarity to complex procedures and guide readers through the topics that are pertinent to elders and persons with disabilities—both adults and children. The book expands and updates the MCLE classic, Estate Planning for the Aging and Incapacitated Client in Massachusetts , while adding new chapters on subjects such as undue influence, special needs trusts, and ethics. A series of MassHealth chapters addresses information on protecting the family home and community spouse, transferring resources, reducing excess assets, and creating trusts. The book tackles tax and insurance issues, housing choices, the financing of services, both private and public, the intricacies of long-term care, and the myriad concerns surrounding the needs of persons with disabilities, to name just a few of the topics. Forty-seven experts wrote the book, and a cadre of nine MassNAELA members joined chief editor Brian E. Barreira to ensure currency, relevance, and highly practical value.
