Talking with aging parents about legal and financial issues, driving, and independent living can be challenging for many adult children. Rationally, we know these are important conversations to have. Emotionally, however, we may be concerned that our parents will think we are only interested in our inheritance, or that we are overly concerned about their cognitive abilities to manage their affairs.
This program will help adult children prepare for and hold conversations with their aging parents about legal and financial issues, driving, and independent living so that adult children and their aging parents feel more confident that estate planning, financial decisions, driving decisions, and independent living issues are being comprehensively and effectively addressed.
Program Presenter: Cheryl Harmon Kelley, Staff Attorney with Georgia Legal Services Program.
