Join Senior Services of Alexandria and the Alexandria Bar Association for our annual Senior Law Day. This year, plan to hear from estate planners, financial experts and senior resource specialists as they share insights on caregiving challenges, healthcare and housing costs, and the essential legal documents everyone should have.
The presentations will include a panel on how to provide caregiving in ways that support and protect the dignity of aging friends and family. Chris Leighton of Hughes & Leighton PLLC will moderate and Heidi Travis and Ashley Wembley from ElderTree Care Management will provide their expert insights on compassionate and effective caregiving.
Another presentation will address financial needs for older adults and how to navigate them. The panel will be moderated by Seth Royster of Shannon & Wright LLP. Andrew White from Atlantic Union Financial Consultants will provide his professional perspective on the monetary needs of people as they age. Sally Hurme, an attorney who used her expertise in elder law to write “Wise Moves,” a book on this topic, will give insight from her professional and personal experience.
Finally, we will have a presentation from two attorneys specializing in estate planning and document preparation: Gretchyn Meinken of Friedman Grimes Meinken & Leishner, PLLC, and Elizabeth Crego of Legal Services of Northern Virginia.
There will additionally be resources and information available from a variety of local attorneys, health care companies, and city organizations assisting in the care and planning for older adults.
Senior Law Day is free and open to the public. Please register by emailing events@seniorservicesalex.org or call SSA’s Office at 703-836-4414, ext. 110. Looking forward to seeing you at Senior Law Day!
