Michael guides families through many types of situations. Listed below are a few common examples:
Aging Parent Guidance
As loved ones get older, families are faced with new and unique concerns. Michael frequently guides families through the financial and legal difficulties that arise when they have aging parents or other loved ones. Michael does more than simply prepare estate planning documents. He is available to counsel family members on the new and difficult situations they face. Michael can draw upon his years of experience to guide families through concerns such as finding the right in-home care provider, knowing when it is time to take away a parent’s car keys, or helping the parent pay their bills and manage their finances. Often there’s a delicate balance that must be maintained between a parent’s need for being independent and having a feeling of control over their life, and a child’s desire to help and protect their parent.
Family Disagreements
Even the best of families can occasionally have disagreements. When faced with a family issue, sometimes reasonable family members have different opinions on the best way to address the situation. Michael is known for his ability to help families confidentially resolve difficult or sensitive family disagreements. Sometimes he does this by facilitating a family meeting in which everyone can discuss their concerns in a safe, controlled environment. Other times he meets with family members individually. Sometimes simply helping family members understand one another can open the doors to effective dispute resolution dialogue that resolves the disagreement.
Preventive Planning
Some families try to anticipate and get prepared for the different struggles life may have in store for them. For these wise families Michael is available to counsel them on how to minimize those future risks. He truly believes the old saying “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
Whenever we are faced with something new in life, it’s useful to draw upon the experience of other people who have faced a similar situation.
