Eric J. Einhart, Esq. joined ParkerJewish Caregiver’s Support Group for a virtual presentation on: 

“Guardianship: Decision Making for those who lack Capacity”

One important value that people of all ages throughout our society hold (especially our seniors), is independence. Unfortunately, our individual independence can be limited through the loss of one’s capacity. The process of having a guardian appointed can be complicated and costly in Nassau, Suffolk and surrounding New York counties.

Key Questions:

• How are decisions made for an individual who needs help?
• Who has the right to make decisions for you?
• Financial & Health Care DecisionMaking
• Guardianship

You have heard many people refer to trust as a great planning tool for your estate. It provides opportunities for so many different things, such as long-term care planning, tax planning, and probate avoidance. While you consider meeting with an attorney to discuss your options, you may want to have a basic understanding of several of the most common types of trusts.
