At Hackett Retirement Solutions we regularly recommend that our clients seek the advice of qualified legal professionals in the field of elder law.  It is very important that our clients deal with specialists in this area if they need assistance with estate planning issues that effect seniors.  After all, you wouldn’t see a podiatrist for a heart condition, would you? 

Usually, everyone should have a current will, a durable power of attorney, and a health care proxy.  You may need more depending on your situation.

If you call our office, we would be happy to provide you with the names and numbers of elder law attorneys in your area.  You may also visit www.naela.org which is the official web site of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys.  You may search for an attorney on their web site by entering your zip code.

Hackett Retirement Solutions is not a law firm and does not give legal advice of any kind.  Seek the guidance of a qualified elder law attorney for your specific questions.
