CBA helps lawyers plan for retirement, illness etc

The Canadian Bar Association has created materials for helping lawyers plan for retirement as well for unpredictable events such as long-term illness, injury or premature death. One of the most important elements is protecting the clients whose confidential files are in the hands of the lawyer. This article, from the CBA website, is a detailed list of pointers to get a lawyer started on this planning. It's also interesting reading for people who wonder what lawyers do with their files when they retire or pass away.

Canadian bar association national meeting a huge success

I've just returned home from Toronto where I represented Alberta at the national meeting of the Canadian Bar Association Elder Law section. I've brought back tons of new ideas, new information and new energy! It's always useful to see that the issues facing seniors (and those of us who will one day be seniors) are the same from coast to coast and to brainstorm with other people who have the same interest in these issues as I do.
