First of all, I'd like to start by asking you a question. What's your worst fear? Does it look like any of these? If you're like most of our clients, your worst fears center around becoming old, helpless, relying on the aid and assistance of others for your every need, possibly bedridden, hooked up to tubes. And running out of money on top of all that and helpless for the rest of your life. And unfortunately, these are all too realistic fears because this is what in fact happens to about 70% of the population. We are going to help you today try to overcome these fears. There are ways to avoid this —this worst-case scenario of being helpless and running out of money and being completely dependent on other people. That's a huge part of what elder law is all about, is to help give people the peace of mind through things such as asset protection and other strategies we're going to be talking about so that you can conquer these fears as thousands of our clients have done.
