#elderlaw — Public Fediverse posts

This month, I'm heading back to school once again to complete my LLM in Elder Law studies at Stetson University College of Law with a final course on Estate Planning🤓📚. It has been a journey, and I'm looking forward to hearing from my mentees across engineering & law on how they are progressing with AI everywhere now, too! 🤖 #ElderLaw #PlanAhead #RetireWell #LearningItAll #AIFTW https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/learning-all-back-school-again-nivine-k-zakhari-y11oe/

This month I've been learning more about Guardianships & Alternatives, thanks to Prof. Edwin Boyer and some phenomenal Elder Law LLM classmates at Stetson University College of Law. Given all the recent changes across so many Federal departments and agencies involved in elder care related programs and services, like Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Social Security Administration, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and more, this is an area of the law many will want to familiarize themselves with to ensure they have the right resources in place to support their long-term decision-making through less-restrictive alternatives. #ElderLaw #DisabilityLaw #PlanAhead #RetireWell

Elder abuse, predation by #NursingHomes, government benefits & insurance denials—there’s a growing need for Elder Law, particularly for low-income people and people of color, but few attorneys in the field. Equal Justice Works provides fellowships for recent graduates to train in this important field. #ElderLaw # AcessToJustice #LawSchool #Medicare https://www.law360.com/access-to-justice/articles/1599108
