Program Description:
Baby boomers will transform aging in America over the next decade, as the generation faces both opportunities and potential crises. By 2020, the population of Americans age 55 to 64 will have grown an unprecedented 73 percent.*
Historically, Americans led "linear" lives because so many only lived into their 50s and 60s. Today, a new model of life is emerging. People want to distribute the longevity bonus. They are going back to school at 40 and coming back from illness to run a marathon at 80. They are beginning as late bloomers and hitting their stride in later years. The new model of life means aging isn't an isolated zone in 'Seniorville.' We are thinking about people as beginners again and again.**
With our aging population, it is inevitable that elder law issues will become a part of your practice, no matter what your area of focus. You need the tools to assess, preserve and protect your client's rights.
