Veterans and Their Spouses Can Receive Complimentary Advice in Honor of Veterans Day

BRIGHTON, Mich. - Nov. 9, 2017 - PRLog -- In honor of Veterans Day, local estate planning expert Christopher J. Berry, Esq., CELA will be preparing free financial and medical powers of attorneys for local veterans and their spouses.

These free financial and medical powers of attorney will:

● Allow someone to make financial decisions if the veteran or surviving spouse is   incapacitated

● Allow a loved one to make medical decisions if the veteran or surviving spouse is unable to make their own decisions

● Include end-of-life decision making to avoid the Terri Schiavo situation of being stuck on life-support needlessly

"It's important that we take time to recognize the sacrifices that so many in our community have made," stated Christopher J. Berry, Esq., CELA, Founder of The Elder Care Firm. "Those who are interested in making an appointment to receive advice about how to creating these important documents can contact our team at contact@theeldercare.com or 888-390-4360."

Berry will also spend this Friday evening discussing the little-known Aid and Attendance benefit that many who have served and/or their families are eligible for in addition to their pensions. At a local assisted living facility, he will discuss who is eligible for up to $2,000 every month and how to go about applying for it.

"This is not a benefit that many people do not know about, but it's one that can greatly help those who qualify," continued Berry. "My goal this week and always is to ensure that people who have served and beyond are able to plan appropriately for their futures."
