MBA celebrates Law Day with annual elder law education programming
This month, MBA attorneys will present at more than 135 elder service agencies statewide
For the past decade or more, the MBA has celebrated Law Day by organizing free educational presentations about elder law throughout the commonwealth during the month of May. The 2008 Elder Law Education Program was made possible due to the assistance and cooperation of both of the MBA's Probate Law Section Council and the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys. During the program, attorneys will present at more than 135 elder service agencies across Massachusetts.
With the assistance of a group of volunteers from the MBA's Probate Law Section Council, the MBA has prepared a revised and expanded edition of "Taking Control of Your Future: A Legal Checkup," a resource guide that was distributed to all participating senior service related agencies and attorney volunteers. The guide contains information on a wide range of legal issues affecting the lives of seniors.
