<p>We are joined today by Jill Sauber, managing attorney at Sauber Legal Services. They offer holistic legal representation and comprehensive estate and elder law services. The focus on making those life transitions easier and her ability to offer great council, provide support, and helpful resources led us to our conversation today. We discuss what to consider when moving a loved one into senior housing at this time, what should they consider when signing agreements, rental and care contracts. Understanding what all of those agreements are and who should sign them. We talk about questions for those families that already have a loved one in a facility what rights do they have to see or spend time with their loved one? Under what circumstances are these visits allowable? Jill Sauber answers very important questions and helps us navigate this process successfully.</p> <p>Jill Sauber helps clients navigate estate planning (as they focus on asset growth) to long-term care planning (where the focus shifts to asset preservation and care).
