For NY - Difficulty Level: Both newly admitted and experienced attorneys

Description

Talking about life's closing chapters isn’t easy for anyone, but it is especially difficult for solos—older adults who lack the support traditionally provided by family members.

Solos 'with capacity' are a largely invisible but growing group. When crafting wills, Powers of Attorney, and Advance Care Directives, members of this group struggle with whom to designate as a surrogate. This program will capture the key content of the workshop by the same title offered at the October 2017 Law and Aging Conference. Faculty will discuss the needs of solos and generate ideas about how to create the infrastructure to address such needs going forward.

This program was recorded on April 24th, 2018.
