Looking After Dependent Parents – Dealing with the Legal Issues

Date:   Wed. February 24

Our parents took care of us and we take care of our children. That’s the usual assumption about how things should go. However, sometimes our parents, (or other adults we know), lose the legal capacity to make their own decisions and we’re called on to assume this responsibility. This presentation is an opportunity to learn about the legal issues involved in these situations and the options available to address them. Areas for discussion include:

  • Determining when capacity is lost – how does this happen and is the loss always total?
  • When are guardians or trustees needed and how are they appointed?
  • What parts do personal directives and enduring powers of attorney play?
  • How can accountability and liability issues be addressed?

 

Law & Living Together

Date:   Wed. March 10

What are the legal rights and responsibilities of unmarried people living together as spouses and how do they differ from those of married people? What is a cohabitation agreement and how important is it for people in such relationships to have one? What is an adult interdependent partner and what is the significance of becoming one? This presentation provides an opportunity to look at questions like these. The topics for discussion include care and support of children, inheritance, and property.

 

Driving Privileges, Driving & the Law

Date:   Wed. March 17

How does one acquire driving privileges? Under what circumstances can they be lost, and if they are, can they be reacquired, and if so how? These are the kinds of questions that will be looked at in this presentation on driving privileges, driving and law.
