The Legal Issues for Older Adults handbook is designed to help identify some of the matters that people may encounter as they age.
It is not intended to be legal advice but rather a place to start the conversation and provide assistance with concepts and definitions. There are additional resources in Chapter 14 and a glossary of terms at the end of the handbook.
