Aging gracefully is what April calls the advanced planning she guides her clients through in preparing advanced directives and is much more pleasant than the crisis planning that comes to mind with the unexpected passing of a loved one. April encourages people to do what they want with their money, relieving them of the societal pressure of leaving an inheritance. Elder law is not just for the “elderly” and the earlier we get educated about older adults’ legal needs, the more graceful we age.
