Special Speaker for Senior Needs

Thursday, March 9 at 1:30 PM
The presentation will be in room E215-225 and on Zoom for those who want to attend online. Please notify Tom Kirwin by email (tjk3d@yahoo.com) or text (214-293-7344) no later than Monday, March 6 if you plan to attend so there will be sufficient seating, or if you need the Zoom link.

Elder law firm Haiman Hogue founder Fred O. Haiman will speak at the Last Changes meeting.  The presentation will cover important family law topics of interest to all families, but with special emphasis on the legal needs of seniors – health care, retirement, disability, guardianship and long-term care, as well as estate planning, probate and business planning. This workshop is designed to break down the legalese to help families understand this complicated area, so they can make the best decisions to protect themselves, their children and their assets. Fred knows firsthand the importance of being prepared; he was inspired to refocus his law practice on estate planning and elder law in 2007, when he experienced a near fatal medical emergency. He moved his firm to Allen in 2013, before merging with Rex Hogue to create Haiman Hogue, PLLC in 2016
