MSBA encourages its members to invite their senior clients and their adult children to this very informative, free event . MSBA members of the Elder Law Section and the Public Awareness Committee will conduct the presentations. The event will be held at 19 locations statewide.
Times vary per center.
The Committee is working with the Elder Law Section to present educational seminars at senior centers across the state to coincide with National Elder Law Month. The talks will focus on legal needs specific to seniors, including estate planning, financial planning for long-term care, and the preparation of wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and medical directives. Questions will be fielded on these topics and other topics of concern to today s seniors. While the organizational function of the event will be handled by the Public Awareness Committee, volunteers are needed from the Elder Law Section to make the actual presentations. As the majority of Maryland practitioners are in the central areas of the state and the Public Awareness Committee wants to cover at least one senior center in each county, it is requested that volunteers be willing to travel to an adjacent county, if necessary.
