Nationally Recognized Elder Law Attorney Tim Takacs Returns to Charlotte for an
Informational Breakfast Event presented by Charlotte’s aro
March 12, 2008 -- Charlotte, NC. Back by popular demand. Tim Takacs, recognized as one of America’s foremost authorities on issues facing the elderly and their caregivers  will be in Charlotte to host a second public breakfast event on Friday, May 9.
Last April, Takacs addressed an audience of area residents – of varying ages – together with healthcare professionals and attorneys with an interest in serving the elderly. “There is an urgency to educate the public about the emotional and financial challenges of caring for aging and disabled loved ones,” comments Takacs. “That’s why it’s imperative to make this type forum available again.”
This year, Takacs’ address is entitled, “Getting Older? A 10-Point Survival Plan for Boomers and Their Parents,” and is sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Association of Charlotte, among others.
Takacs says he is particularly interested in drawing Boomers to the session since this demographic, primarily, has been handed the reins of finding and financing the health and housing needs of their aging parents or other disabled loved ones. At the same time, Takacs points out that these 40-and 50-year olds are likely still parenting their own children – and saving for their own retirement. Boomers will face a shortage of time and resources unless they have a “Survival Plan” in place, warns Takacs. More...
