Questions for Elder Law Attorneys/ Elder Law & Conservatorship

When seeking an elder law attorney, your first question may be: How do I find this type of attorney? Before making the effort, step back a moment and try to determine whether you actually have a legal problem in which an attorney needs to be involved. If you’re not sure, ask your clergy, your financial advisor, a social worker, or a trusted friend to help you decide whether this is a legal issue rather than a medical or a social services issue. Legal expertise is expensive and it serves you well to know that you actually need legal assistance before seeking an attorney. 

When you do find someone, ask lots of questions before selecting an Elder or Special Needs Law attorney. Questions can include:

• How long has the attorney been in practice?
• Does his or her practice emphasize a particular area of law?
• How long has he or she been in this field?
• What percentage of his or her practice is devoted to Elder or Special Needs Law?
• Is there a fee for the first consultation, and if so how much is it?
• Given the nature of your problem, what information should you bring with you to the initial consultation?

National Folic acid Awareness Week/ A-1 Home Care Los Angeles

This week is National Folic Acid Awareness Week! A-1 Home Care is dedicated to hiring personal attendants for excellent pregnancy/ postpartum care giving services.

Folic acid is a part of the B complex of vitamins. It is vital for the formation of healthy red blood cells and for many other cells in the body. The form of folic acid occurring naturally in food is called ‘folate’.

Pregnant or breast feeding women and children during their growing years especially require folate in their diet. In pregnant women, for example, lack of folate in diet can lead to severe nerve defects like neural tube defects and anencephaly in their unborn children. Luckily, reputable prenatal vitamin producers ensure that adequate folic acids are included as ingredients in their products. It's so important to get this essential nutrient in your diet. Please be sure to provide self care, and get this in your diet. This can easily be achieved by the additions of the following foods:

Lentils
Pinto Beans
Asparagus
Spinach
Black Beans
Turnip Greens
Broccoli
