Hi,
And welcome to my blog. I’m Michael D. Weinraub, a certified elder law attorney*. My practice is holistic; not only do I offer Estate Planning and Administration, Guardianships and Special Needs Trusts, but I also help families plan for, pay for, and coordinate the long-term care of elderly loved ones. Here on my blog I post news tidbits that I find interesting and useful for the ageing and elderly. I hope you find them useful as well.
Best regards,
Mike
