New article in Solutions Magazine Summer 2009

I have a new two-page article in the Summer 2009 issue of Solutions Magazine (http://www.solutionsmagazine.ca/) called "The Role of a Caregiver When an Elderly Person Makes a Will." I wrote this article because many people who are helping to look after ageing parents feel offended or upset when the lawyers helping the elderly people ask the caregivers to leave the room. Perhaps lawyers are not doing a very good job of explaining why it's important. My article goes into quite a bit of detail about why a caregiver is asked to leave the room and what the elderly person and the caregiver should expect from the situation. I hope you get a chance to read this excellent magazine, which is absolutely packed with practical information for seniors and their families.
