Drafting Advance Planning Documents to Reduce the Risk of Abuse or Exploitation

The National Center on Law and Elder Rights (NCLER) is hosting a webinar about drafting advance planning documents to reduce the risk of abuse or exploitation. Shortly after Medicare began reimbursing physicians for counseling beneficiaries about advance-care planning in 2016, Health Affairs released a study finding that only one-third of older adults have completed any health care planning documents. This webinar will discuss ways to work with clients to select lower-risk agents, tools to document and communicate health care values, and tips for drafting documents to reduce the risk of exploitation.
