Continuing with the elder law theme and the first five questions posed in our previous post, here are five more common elder law questions you might want to consider:
- Have I communicated my wishes to my loved ones regarding end-of-life decisions?
- Will I be able to take care of my own needs without help from other family members or government programs? If not, do I expect family members to help me as I age? What supports are available to help me live independent from my family?
- Do I have knowledge about the resources that are available to me to assist with my planning?
- Am I living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of myself?
- Do I have a plan in place in the event of an emergency?
