Seniors are a wide ranging and exponentially growing special status group that the law treats differentially in respect to rights, responsibilities, and benefits. This book is written to inform and assist seniors and those who care for them. The topics covered range from employment discrimination, housing needs, and medical care to federal benefit programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and ultimately, to end of life decisions. Whether you are someone looking out for your parents; a new retiree concerned about your legal rights; or one of the growing number of 'œold old'� eighty-five years or older who needs answers to confusing legal issues, this book provides essential information in clear language about legal needs and challenges including the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, retirement plan strategies, powers of attorney, living trusts, guardianship, hospice care, and estate and inheritance taxes. Special topics include race and gender dimensions of aging, long term care options, and the hidden problem of elder abuse. Each chapter includes 'œDid You Know?'� opening outlines and resources to conclude. Appendices lead the way to additional sources of information and other helpful resources. The authors are nationally known elder law experts and are frequently asked to consult with governments, institutions, and individuals from every walk of life. In Everyday Law for Seniors, they provide advice appropriate for everyone, senior or not (yet).
