As covered in several episodes of the Boomer Time podcast, Nancy A. Cogar, Chattanooga Estate Planning and Elder Law attorney, says that when it comes to elder law needs, proactive planning is crucial to avoid costly and emotionally draining court battles. By taking preventative measures, Mrs. Cogar says you can ensure that wishes are respected, assets are protected, and that your family is spared from unnecessary conflict.
In Ep. 58 of Boomer Time, she elaborates on these strategies and how power of attorney, end-of-life directives, an awareness of capacity issues and a beneficiary plan can all play into avoiding court.
Mrs. Cogar has a Chattanooga-based practice in estate planning, elder law, long-term care planning & advocacy for older adults. As a partner with Samples, Jennings, Clem & Fields, PLLC, she is committed to comprehensive, competent & compassionate advocacy for seniors, caregivers and families navigating aging and the incoming Silver Tsunami.
