Welcome to the September Issue of the

Texas Elder Law E-Letter
 
 

A big thank you to everyone who virtually walked with and/or donated to our team (“Michael’s Marchers”) for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s which was held on October 3, 2020. Special thanks to KAAM 770 who helped make us Grand Champions again. If you would still like to contribute to our walk team, click here.


Our office is now open (although some are working remotely). We are giving options to meet in person or virtually (phone calls, audio/video meetings, etc.)  as we continue to follow CDC guidelines. Our next free virtual “Estate Planning Essentials” workshop will be on Tuesday, October 27, 2020 from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. 
 
 
Call (214) 720-0102 to register or sign up online at www.dallaselderlawyer.com. We begin each workshop by asking “What questions do you have about estate planning or elder law?” Then we proceed to answer your questions over the course of the workshop. Our goal is to make it easy for you to attend from the comfort of wherever you reside.

Please note that Michael B. Cohen’s radio show on estate planning and elder law can be heard on KAAM (770 AM) on Mondays and Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m. and Saturday at 10:00 a.m. Prior shows (topics are categorized) can be heard as podcasts on SoundCloud and as indicated on our website www.dallaselderlawyer.com. Our podcasts can also be heard on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Subscribe to be notified of future releases.

SUCCESS STORY OF THE MONTH – SAVING THE HOME FROM PAYBACK TO GOVERNMENT AFTER LONG-TERM CARE MEDICAID DIES
 
Most Texans have inadequate income and resources or lack long-term care insurance to pay for the cost of long-term care (such as nursing home and assisted living care or care at home). As a result, they often use long-term care Medicaid to help pay for such costs since Medicare has very limited if any (depending on the facts) coverage.
