Blog Highlight from Chayet & Danzo, LLC
Undue influence and pay-on-death designations
"A caregiver or child who lives closest to an elderly parent may exert influence in an effort to get a larger inheritance. It's a problem when pressure - whether over-persuasion, coercion or manipulation - leads to a change in the terms of a will that favors the influencer. Litigation over the validity of a will often focuses on this concept of undue influence over a testator (the person who signs the will) ..." - READ MORE

If you do not have other creditable coverage and you miss your enrollment deadline and are then assessed a late enrollment penalty, you cannot appeal on the basis that you did not know ..."

Blog Highlight from Ray Smith, The Long Term Care Specialist
The Diagnosis

Article Highlight from Colorado Senior Lobby
When Colorado Really Rolls Up Its Sleeves
"Every legislative session there is a lot of talk about partisanship and Republicans and Democrats can't work together to get anything important done. While there is a grain of truth in this statement - there are several examples of the Republican controlled Senate killing bills from the Democratically controlled House and vice versa - there also are dozens of bills every session that make it to the governor's desk with bipartisan support ..." -
