As the summer months start heating up and the threat to South Florida for hurricanes becomes the annual what-if, being informed is perhaps the greatest advantage you can have. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes. When considering the tremendous destructive potential of hurricanes, extra preparation can make all the difference, especially when it comes to planning for the seniors in your life. Attorney Anne Desormier-Cartwright of Elder & Estate Planning Attorneys PA offers some advice. “You should make a list “of how a hurricane may affect your loved ones “and ask if they live in a flood zone. “Are there large branches hanging over their house “that are susceptible to high winds? “What is the quickest path out of their neighborhood? “Is there access to a public shelter and a hospital? “Do they have enough medicine on hand?” Having a disaster plan is an important step for protecting your family. You also need Florida estate planning to ensure that there is a person with legal authority who may act for your loved ones in a crisis. Elder & Estate Planning Attorneys PA is a law office small enough to provide person service, but large enough to handle all of your estate and planning needs.
