Legal Planning and Your Retirement

• Jim Miller, author of The Savvy Senior, offers a long list of resources for legal issues on his site. http://www.savvysenior.org/seniorresources.htm#LEI.
• According to The National Association of Elder Law Attorneys, an Elder Law practitioner handles general estate planning issues and assists clients in planning for future long-term care needs, including nursing home care. "Locating the appropriate type of care, coordinating private and public resources to finance the cost of care, and working to ensure the client's right to quality care are all part of the Elder Law practice."  Videos and other resources at http://www.naela.org/Public_WhatIsElderLaw.aspx?Internal=true.
