What to Know: Assisted Living, Retirement Home Contracts, and Estate Planning
Are you considering moving to an assisted living community or retirement home? Have you considered how to pay for these costs? Stephanie Thompson will discuss:
- how assisted living and retirement home fees will be paid
- when to ask an attorney to review the language in a retirement home contract prior to signing
- clauses or terms in some contracts that might conflict with your estate plan interests
- what options, if any, are available when your assets are fully depleted.
Become aware of, and learn how to eliminate, any potential conflict with the administration of your estate before making an assisted care living/retirement home commitment.
