Protect the important interests of your older clients and their
families
Elderly clients and their families face special
concerns that often involve careful planning and important decision
making with respect to medical care, retirement, housing, long-term
care, and much more. As an attorney, you want to do the best you can to
assist your client through the mazes of planning and regulation, and
making difficult choices.
In the past eight years, hundreds of attorneys have come to rely on
Wisconsin's comprehensive, award-winning elder law handbook,
Advising Older Clients and Their Families. The Association for
Continuing Legal Education has called this book "an innovative resource
delivering accurate information in an easy-to-read style" and "an
all-inclusive practical guide." The result of an ambitious collaboration
between State Bar CLE Books and the Elder Law Section, the two-volume
set represents the work of more than 60 outstanding Wisconsin attorneys
who wrote and carefully reviewed this valuable treatise. The handbook
covers the full range of issues facing Wisconsin's elderly residents and
their families and includes 19 chapters filled with practical
commentary, cites to federal and state laws and regulations, charts,
checklists, glossaries of specialized terms, and selected forms.
This one-stop reference source, supplemented in 2004 and 2005, covers
not only standard elder law topics such as Social Security, Medicare and
Medicare Advantage, SSI, estate planning, and surrogate decision making,
but also employment, housing programs, grandparents' rights, private
retirement and health care financing, VA benefits, guardianship and
protective placement, institutional and community-based long-term care
options, and the ethical issues faced in an elder law practice.
Advising Older Clients and Their Families is available as a
two-volume set for $250, plus tax, shipping, and handling. If bought
separately, Volumes I and II are priced at $140 and $165, respectively.
Purchasers who subscribe to the State Bar's automatic supplementation
service will receive future updates at 10 percent off the regular
price.
