Learning About Elder Orphans [Episode 83]


Listen Later

Attorney-CPA Joe Cordell and co-host Susan Arthur discusses

the challenges that come up when you are an elder orphan, and Susan explains
that an elder orphan is an aging adult who does not have adult children close
by or at all, a spouse, or family members that are close by.

Joe and Susan discuss the impact that not having family members

in the area has, as well as the need to create a familial-type unit in
communities. They also talk about churches and the various organizations that
exist, in order to take care of seniors who find themselves in these difficult
situations.

They talk about the necessary steps that family members who

live far away from their aging family members have to take, in order to allow them
to stay in their home while they can. However, Joe and Susan highlight taking
the necessary steps before emergencies arise. Joe also discusses durable Power
of Attorneys and who you could potentially choose to represent your best
interests.
