Elder-law issues to be discussed

Free forum also to cover legal aspects of Alzheimer's

Staff report
Saturday, September 6, 2008


Elder law attorney Alyson Fudge will present the fifth in a series of lectures and workshops at Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church.

The hour-long "Ask the Attorney" starts at 6 p.m. Tuesday at, 1605 Harbor View Road.

Advance directives, health care surrogacy, powers of attorney and a range of other elder-law issues will be addressed.

The forum is free and sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association S.C. Chapter, in conjunction with Good Morning Respite Center. Legal aspects of caring for a loved-one with Alzheimer's disease will be explored.

Refreshments are provided.

More than 70 percent of people with Alzheimer's are cared for by a family member at home, and the caregiver often is isolated and overwhelmed by the challenges of looking after a person with the disease.

"This lecture series is ... a bridge to the caregiver and will be instrumental in the establishment of a support group for family caregivers in the James Island area," said Fran Emerson, program director of the local Alzheimer's Association.

"Alyson Fudge brings to the table a wealth of information and experience for families facing legal issues associated with care giving long term for a loved-one with Alzheimer's disease. This program is a must for any family affected by this illness," Emerson said.

To attend, call Fran Emerson at 571-2641 or Patti Mears at 795-3102.
