I spent quite a bit of time this past Winter at Osgoode Hall Law School working on a certificate in Elder Law. We covered topics in this unique program such as, consent, capacity, substitute decision making, powers of attorney, financial planning, end of life decision making, elder abuse, and effective advocacy for the older adult. This program assists me in understanding unique challenges the older population faces when dealing with legal issues. We can better assist older people facing separation and divorce and planning estates.
