Nowadays, it seems you can find every answer under the sun on the internet. Although it can be overwhelming at times, I can’t imagine my life without the internet nor can I imagine it before the internet.

In relation to elder law, there are many “go-to” sites I like to recommend, here are my top five:

  • Elder Law Answers: This site not only provides “ElderLaw 101,” which contains answers to questions about estate planning, medicaid, nursing home issues and all other areas of elder law, but it also provides attorney recommendations and has a live radio program you can listen to on the web. elderlawanswers.com
  • National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA): NAELA provides a database of dedicated, quality, elder law attorneys. Their site also features aging trends, a monthly newsletter, “Eye on Elder Issues,” and headlines of elder law news featuring articles on social security, medicaid, retirement, and all the other hot topics on Capitol Hill. naela.org
  • National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA): NFCA provides resources, education and support for anyone caring for a loved one with a disability, chronic illness or suffering from old age. The site directs you to networks of caregivers you can connect to in your community for support as well as caregiver statistics and a database of agencies and organizations caregivers can reach out to for information, training or respite. caregiveraction.org
  • The Alzheimer’s Association: The Alzheimer’s Association has created an in-depth site with the best and most up-to-date information you can find on the internet in relation to Alzheimer’s Disease treatments, clinical studies, research, facts and more. They provide a 24/7 help line, a virtual library and a comprehensive list of local support groups. This site educates, raises awareness and is simply a great relief to any family dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease. alz.org

Like I said, this is only five of the MILLIONS of resources available on the web. If you know of a good site I could be missing, let me know!

I solicited Peck Ritchey, LLC for assistance with a living trust for which I became the beneficiary. I needed assistance with understanding the details of how it all worked. However, I was especially concerned because there were threats of allegations made by family members and a lawsuit was filed against me. I needed a solid professional who had my best interests in mind. Peter Brady took my case and he managed it flawlessly. He explained everything in a way I could understand, he knew the law inside and out, he was always available to answer questions, and even offer support when things seemed like they could become extremely problematic. In addition to this, he had a plan. He navigated the course as if he already knew the next move by the opposing attorney. He made me feel like everything was in control and that’s because he knew exactly what he was doing and he consulted with me about everything. We ended up settling out of court and ultimately the court officially dismissed the lawsuit. I honestly believe if it wasn’t for Peter and his expertise this could have gone in an entirely different direction. Peter did a stellar job and I couldn’t be more pleased and impressed with his performance.
