Join local attorney, Chip Griffin, on Tuesday, Nov. 29 for an informative discussion to learn what you need to know about estate planning and elder law. Chip is a member of both the Elder Law section of the Maine State Bar Association and the National Association of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA).

Should you have a trust? Should you add your child to your deed? This class provides an overview of estate planning and what to consider when developing your estate plan. Topics include: estate planning documents, such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, gift and estate taxes, the importance of asset titling, the role of your personal representative, and how your estate plan can inadvertently affect eligibility for MaineCare-funded nursing home care. Chip will also discuss the legal issues commonly faced by the elderly, including how nursing home care is paid for and choosing a financial agent. Married, single, old or young, you will learn something useful.
