Preventing Financial Catastrophes for the Elderly

Today, on the Legacy Purse we brought on estate planning and elder law attorney, Christina A. Sammartino, Esq., to emphasize and compliment some of the topics our previous guests have spoken about.   Christina has so much experience in this area of law, both from her own personal/family experience and from years of helping clients.  This episode really helps our listeners understand a very complex and complicated topic – Health Care and long-term care planning. 

Now, the reason this topic is so important is that many of us have elderly parents that have not yet done a plan or maybe did a plan years ago before they had to consider any major health care costs.  And health care can get very expensive for elderly folks (as in $10,000 a month for nursing home care!!).  So, for those listeners whose parents have homes and bank accounts in their names, this podcast is for you!  Because there can be MAJOR financial consequences for families if your parents do not do the proper planning for long-term health care.  (it's bad!)

Christina earned her Bachelor’s degree in legal studies in business from Hofstra University, and then went on to obtain her law degree from Pace University School of Law. Christina is an Associate of Berwitz & DiTata LLP, and she has worked for many years in all areas of estate planning, trust and estate administration, and Elder Law.
