They're Coming for Your Elders and Your Inheritance: Ways to Protect Your Family, Mitigate the Damag

Legal guardianship often feels like a swamp (and that's how I describe it in my multi-award-winning book Protecting Mama: Surviving the Legal Guardianship Swamp). If guardianship is a swamp, then elder care is a jungle. Is your bank account prepared for the trek? Even wealthy elders see their nest eggs dwindle, sometimes to zero, as they battle chronic diseases or catastrophic accidents.

Do you worry about what might happen to one of your older loved ones, should that person no longer be safe living independently? Well, you should. And you should also take precautions to protect yourself. Particularly if you still have children to consider, you are financially and emotionally vulnerable from both ends of the age spectrum. Do you think that you don't need protection too? You'd be wrong. Some family members find themselves hauled into court by the institutions that cared for Mom and Dad. Many states allow them to sue for payment from next of kin (and judges will enforce this). See the take-aways inside this book for more information.

What you'll gain from They're Coming for Your Elders and Your Inheritance:

  1. You'll know why the state often involves itself in "family matters" and some of the ways to prevent this. Courts seem increasingly hostile to families. They're Coming for Your Elders explains why.
  2. You'll be better able to tackle the thorny area of where (and how) a person in need of help might live safely
  3. You'll understand the playbook unscrupulous members of the system use to control elders, destroy legacies, and divide families, so you can counter their tactics
  4. You'll come away with innovative strategies for heading off trouble that's already brewing
  5. You'll be better able to recognize the early warning signs of impending negative events so that you can prevent them from developing.

Towards Human Rights in Residential Care for Older Persons: International Perspectives
<p>People are leading significantly longer lives than previous generations did, and the proportion of older people in the population is growing. Residential care for older people will become increasingly necessary as our society ages and, we will require more of it. At this moment in time, the rights of older people receive attention at international and regional levels, with the United Nations, the Organization of American States and the African Union exploring the possibility of establishing new conventions for the rights of older persons.</p><p>This book explores the rights of older people and their quality of care once they are living in a care home, and considers how we can commence the journey towards a human rights framework to ensure decent and dignified care for older people. The book takes a comparative approach to present and future challenges facing the care home sector for older people in Africa (Kenya), the Arab world (Egypt), Australia, China, England, Israel, Japan and the USA. An international panel of experts have contributed chapters, identifying how their particular society cares for its older and oldest people, the extent to which demographic and economic change has placed their system under pressure and the role that residential elder care homes play in their culture. The book also explores the extent to which constitutional or other rights form a foundation to the regulatory and legislative structures to residential elder care and it examines the important concept of dignity. </p><p>As a multi-regional study of the care of older person from a human rights perspective, this book will be of excellent use and interest, in particular to students and researchers of family and welfare law, long-term care, social policy, social work, human rights and elder law.</p>
