Changes in laws affecting seniors over the last 50 years
Posted by

My latest column in the Spring issue of News & Views, the magazine of the Alberta Retired Teachers' Association (ARTA) is now out. As this year marks the 50th anniversary of ARTA, I was asked to write about how legal issues for seniors have changed over the last 50 years. So in this article I cover planning for incapacity, powers of attorney, personal directives, grandparents' rights and changes to the Alberta Wills and Succession Act that may require grandparents raising grandchildren to support those grandchildren in their wills. Lots of changes to talk about! Click here and scroll down to page 8.
