The event is from from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and also will include free 15-minute, one-on-one consultations for seniors and their families with elder law attorneys, certified financial planners and geriatric care managers.
“Senior Law Day is a marquee program,” said Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino in a prepared statement. “I commend the professionals who volunteer their knowledge and time year after year to benefit county residents. Seniors should be informed about their rights and finances at all times to protect themselves and to plan for the years ahead.”
Workshop topics will include estate planning, wills versus trusts, preparing for the later years with or without long-term care insurance, the basics of financial planning and balancing love and marriage against estate, tax and Medicare concerns.
There also will be two workshops in Spanish.
Two workshops, "The Affordable Care Act: How the new health legislation affects your Medicare” and “Smart Seniors/Smart Investors: Don’t get scammed” will be new this year.
