Pittman Law Office Newsflash

June 15th is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Elder abuse can range from physical abuse and neglect to financial exploitation and theft. Unfortunately, many folks love and rely on the person abusing them, therefore their abuse never gets reported. According to the CDC, about 1 in 10 people aged 60 and older who live at home are abused.

What are some things that we can do to help the Elderly Community?

1) Pay attention and report anything that is suspicious to Adult Protective Services;

2) Check-in on older adults who don’t have a lot of family or friends close to them; and

3) Educate yourself on how to recognize abuse.

Do You Want To Host a Mortality Party?

Mortality Party (informal discussion on Estate Planning)

If you are interested in hosting a mortality party please let us know. The idea is the host would invite 6-8 of their friends and Attorney, Audra M. Platt will come to the host’s home (or driveway so we can social distance) to discuss Estate Planning and answer any questions the guests may have about estate planning. I’ll bring the pizza and beer. Contact our estate planning paralegal, amyrose@thepittmanlawoffice.com, for more information and to schedule a fun, educational event at your home.

Point of Interest: Here is a TED Talk on a person who suffered from abuse however, she is now using that experience to help others.
