On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Sep 18, 2019 | Elder Law

It isn't always possible to take care of an aging loved one at home, and you may have to put them in a nursing home. These facilities are specifically designed to care for elderly patients around the clock and provide them with a safe environment. Unfortunately,...

What is an end-of-life doula?

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | May 8, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

There's often someone standing by to assist when you're born, so why shouldn't there be someone there to assist you when you die? That's the concept behind the services of an end-of-life doula or midwife. Thanks to the Colorado End-of-Life Options Act, this state is...

Would you know how to spot financial abuse of the elderly?

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Apr 25, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

When scammers cast their nets for victims, they often target the elderly, whom they perceive as easy prey. But many senior citizens are defrauded out of their life's savings not by snake oil salesmen but by their own loved ones and relatives. Spotting financial abuse...

How to make sure your advance directives are honored

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Apr 10, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Mar 14, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

You took a smart step and gave a trusted relative or friend your health care power of attorney -- which is excellent. But, did you sit down and discuss exactly what your wishes are? All too often, people assume that their health care proxies know what they want -- and...

Why would you revoke a power of attorney?

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Mar 2, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

A power of attorney (POA) grants someone the power to act on your behalf, with all of the decision-making capability that you normally have. POAs can be drafted for both medical and financial concerns and are often used by people to manage the affairs of their...

Where do you keep your will after you write it?

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Jan 10, 2019 | Elder Law, Firm News

If you watch a lot of television dramas, you might think that everyone who has a will has a lawyer looking after it -- or, at the very least, a wall safe where it can be kept away from prying eyes and meddlesome relatives. In reality, that's not how it usually works....

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Dec 20, 2018 | Elder Law, Firm News

Advance directives are legal documents that help you retain control over your last days. Advance directives include medical powers of attorney, living wills and -- at least for some people -- do not resuscitate orders (DNRs). In Colorado, DNRs are commonly called...

Why do adult children fight over their parents’ care?

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Dec 14, 2018 | Elder Law, Firm News

When parents get older, it's only natural for adult children to step in and start to make arrangements for their care. Unfortunately, a family civil war can easily get started when the adult kids can't agree on how to care for their elderly parents. Why do adult...

On behalf of Kirtland & Seal, L.L.C. | Nov 2, 2018 | Elder Law, Firm News
