Most people say they wish to remain in their own homes forever (aka “age in place”). But sometimes that’s simply not possible. How can you help your loved one find the right place to live? What can you do if your loved one insists they won’t move? (Sometimes people say they don't want to move but what they really mean is they want to maintain their independence.) Once you’ve sorted that out, how can you organize the move (while taking care of your family and going to work every day)? This webinar provides insights and practical advice for honoring your loved one’s wishes and meeting their care needs, as well as practical advice for organizing the move, and helping your loved one settle into a new home.

Join Attorney Christine Boutin for a discussion about the legal documents that you, your older family members, and your young adult children should have in place. It may be unpleasant to think about possible mishaps, accidents, injuries, and other such events. But if the unthinkable happens, you will be relieved that you took the time to prepare. The right conversations and documents will answer important questions like 1) Who will be the legal decision maker?, 2) How will you know what that person wanted for care in dire circumstances? and, 3) What happens if events occur outside your state of residence? Or outside the country? Learn how a few possibly uncomfortable conversations and a little planning can make when bad things happen to good people.
