Erie County's Department of Senior Services, in partnership with the Center for Elder Law & Justice, has unveiled plans for the highly anticipated Elder Law Day 2024. Scheduled for June 5 at the Buffalo Niagara Marriott, this event serves as a vital platform for seniors, caregivers, and legal professionals to access crucial information on aging-related legal matters.
"Elder Law Day is a cornerstone event for our community, offering invaluable resources and guidance," remarks the County Executive's Press Secretary. The event, free and open to the public, facilitates direct access to expert legal advice through one-on-one consultations with seasoned elder law attorneys.
Participants can engage in a series of educational workshops covering estate planning, wills and trusts, Medicaid planning, guardianship, and more. These workshops are designed to empower attendees with knowledge to navigate complex legal issues effectively.
The resource fair will feature a diverse array of community organizations, providing insights into available senior services and addressing individual queries. Interactive Q&A sessions further enhance the event's interactive nature, allowing attendees to seek personalized advice from legal and healthcare experts.
Elder Law Day exemplifies Erie County's commitment to supporting its senior population and fostering community engagement in addressing legal challenges associated with aging. This initiative underscores the county's proactive approach to enhancing the quality of life for its elderly residents through accessible legal resources and educational opportunities.
