t our firm we recommend that clients personally review their estate plan every two or three years and have an attorney review them every five years or whenever they experience a major life event. Here’s why: Major life events can affect your existing estate plan, and citizens generally are unaware of changes in the law and how they could affect their estate plans.
1) Major Life Events
Any major life-event should trigger a review of your estate plan by an attorney. These life events include deaths, births, marriages, remarriages, divorce, inheritance, a new business interest or a change in health.
Death of a Loved One
Unfortunately, this one not only causes grief, it can break your estate plan. If a beneficiary of your estate dies before you, there may be unintended consequences. Depending on how your will is worded, your bequest could lapse, go to another unintended person or could go to that beneficiary’s children. If there is no named person remaining in your estate plan, your estate will go to your legal next-of-kin under Kentucky’s rules of intestate succession. These may not be the people you want to inherit your estate. A greater problem may occur when the deceased beneficiary’s children inherit. If these children are minors, steps such as guardianship, conservatorship or a trust may be needed to properly manage the inheritance. Planning in advance can simplify these difficulties.
Divorce
A divorce causes your ex-spouse to be treated as if she or he predeceased you for purposes of distribution of your estate.
8
Post-divorce, you will also need to update your beneficiary designations on non-probate assets. In some states designations of the exspouse as a beneficiary on your insurance policies and retirement accounts will be void unless you re-designate that person after the divorce.
Marriage or Remarriage
how you should view estate planning. The act unified the estate gift and generation-skipping transfer tax exclusions amounts. In 2016, the exempt amount was $5.45 million (or $10.9 for a couple). The exemption amount is adjusted annually for inflation. This is a huge difference from the exemption amounts in previous decades. Because of large estate tax exclusions, the focus of estate planning for most
When you marry, it is important to consider how your estate plan will affect your new spouse and any children you may have from a previous relationship. If you made your will before your marriage and did not update it to include your spouse, he or she will not benefit from your estate except through a process referred to as “electing against the will.” In the case of a blended family, planning is especially important in order to ensure that all of your loved ones are provided for in the way you desire. Early planning and Attorneys at Bluegrass Elderlaw PLLC., discussions can help keep family are (l to r) Mary Ellis Patton Amy E. squabbles at bay. Dougherty and Carolyn L. Kenton.
Additions to Your Assets
If you acquire significant assets, such as a large inheritance or acquire a business, after your estate plan was first drawn up, you may need to use some additional planning methods. For business owners, business succession planning is part of your estate plan.
Changes in Health
If you or your spouse should need long-term care, it may be wise to realign ownership of your assets. Additionally, if you have a disabled spouse or children, you can make sure they are cared for without disrupting any government benefits to which they are entitled. Further, powers-of-attorney should be created for adults who are ill or disabled. This gives your family the ability to care for your loved one without having to seek a guardianship through the courts.
2) Changes in the Law
Changes in the law happen regularly. For estate plans drafted before 2012, for instance, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ACTRA) drastically changed
clients has shifted from minimizing estate taxes to decreasing capital gains taxes for beneficiaries. Today’s risk of wealth loss is the imposition of capital gains tax on the sale of assets after death. Finally, Kentucky enacted the Uniform Trust Code in 2014, which created new ways for Kentucky trusts to be modified and terminated. The provisions, which apply to most trusts currently in existence, further specify the responsibilities and duties of the Trustees. Everyone needs to be aware of life changes and remain flexible in addressing these changes. An estate plan is not one-size-fits-all. Your attorney is uniquely qualified to tell you what estate planning techniques are right for you, your family and your specific situation.

the new building “a little piece of heaven.” EOP Architects designed the “little piece of heaven” with older adults in mind. There are no hallways, and doorways are double wide. The building could not be more accessible. The first floor is equipped with a double-height ceilinged multipurpose room with a platform- stage, dining room, room for lectures, parties, dances and at times three ping-pong tables.
ife, energy, excitement – there are few words that better describe the new Lexington Senior Center, which opened in September in Idle Hour Park. Light pours in through 20-foot high floor-to-ceiling windows. Participants smile and say hello as they amble along the huge open floors.
The 33,000 square-foot, $13-million building was designed for older adults with active lifestyles. Workout rooms, card tables and open-air patios spring to life with the hustle and bustle of the participants. The city broke ground on the new facility in October 2014. When it opened Sept. 15 of this year, 85 new members signed up. After three days, the center doubled its number of participants.

Participants can enroll in academic courses in the two classrooms on the first floor. Teachers include retired professors, community elders and even Ben Chandler, the former U.S. congressman. Classes provided by the UK Donovan Scholars program are also offered. Also on the first floor are a library, an outdoor patio with teakwood tables and chairs and a raised flower bed. Near the patio participants can play shuffleboard, pickleball, bocce ball and croquet, or take walks on the nearly 1-mile long outdoor track that encircles the building. On the second floor, elevators open to more floor-to-ceiling windows. In two conference rooms, the Senior Center can host book groups and travel programs. Older adults can take percussion and piano lessons in the music room. In the two art rooms, volunteers and employees teach ceramics, pottery, china painting among other crafts. Eight card tables, three pool tables and a TV occupy the open area of the second floor, brightened by skylights. When a reporter from Lexington Family Magazine visited the Senior Center, everyone was too busy playing pool, cards or doing some other activity to watch TV. Successful Aging RESOURCE GUIDE 2016

socializing and other activities. The smiling faces of the participants reflect that. Ernestine Tomlinson, 90, is a charter member of the original Senior Center, which opened in 1983 when she was 57 and her husband was 60. “I like it real well,” Tomlinson said about the new building. “It’s nice, they did a great job.” Tomlinson took a shuttle van from Bryan Station Road to play bingo at the new building. Hunt, the 69-year-old who called the new location “a little piece of heaven,” also came for bingo.

Cyborgs and flying cars? Sounds like Science Fiction, right? But consider: Electrodes implanted in the brain can control artificial limbs today; A flying car could hit the commercial market next year; Colonies on the moon by 2022 (just five years away) are being planned by more than four countries and; A timeline has been set by the National Alzheimer’s Project Act to have a cure for Alzheimer’s in hand by 2025 (only nine years away). cientific progress is rapidly making such incredible accomplishments science fact rather than fiction. Only a mere 10 years ago, we could only diagnose Alzheimer’s disease after death and autopsy. Yet today, we have FDA-approved spinal fluid tests and amyloid brain imaging studies your doctor can order that allow us to see Alzheimer’s disease begin to take root in the brain of those afflicted up to 20 years before memory problems appear – and 30 years before one might come to autopsy. Major scientific breakthroughs have put your doctors and the entire healthcare industry – for the first time ever – within arm’s reach of a cure for this devastating disease before it irreversibly destroys the brain. Hand in hand with this progress in diagnosis has been an explosion of treatments designed to stop this disease in its tracks.
12
While dozens of studies are ongoing and many more planned in time to help us beat this goal for a cure for Alzheimer’s disease by 2025, the promise and potential for a cure has never been closer, nor has optimism for the future of those at risk for Alzheimer’s ever been higher. ound too good to be true? Well, such progress with an eye to the future has been seen in the battles against many other diseases we have successfully won. These insights allow us to dream the next dream: What will the cure for Alzheimer’s look like? And how will we be cured in the future in the context of our routine medical care? Will we need to clone hundreds of thousands of Dr. Jicha’s to make this happen, or can we create a healthcare system and practice that allows a cure in the context of our annual wellness exam? Most experts, including myself, believe we can model our treatment of
Alzheimer’s disease after the successes we have seen with colon and breast cancer treatment. Such a model includes routine screening of the population, followed by aggressive treatment to eradicate early disease before irreversible damage is done and the disease is no longer curable. As part of our routine medical care, we all undergo colonoscopy at age 50 and every 10 years thereafter. This procedure is not looking for cancer, but rather for early polyp formation that predates the development of colon cancer by 10-15 years. If a polyp is found, it is removed before it does harm. Before it transforms into a fatal cancer that may be incurable. Women undergo routine mammography starting at age 45, and repeat this every other year for life. If an abnormality is found, it is removed, often at the precancerous stage. In both instances, medication or chemotherapy may be prescribed to eradicate the disease. These strategies have been remarkably successful for those who visit a physician regularly and undergo these procedures. The survival rate for these cancers diagnosed in an early stage is 99% for breast and 94% for colon, compared to 11% or less for those diagnosed late in the process with already advanced disease.

All it will take is one promising treatment to be a proven success (out of the dozens in clinical trials and hundreds in earlier development) to make this a reality. This day is coming fast! ith an eye to the future, I see a day soon, when everyone gets a spinal fluid or amyloid imaging study at age 65, and every five years thereafter. We already know this testing will be positive in one out of every three people over the age of 65. If the testing was positive, we could take a pill or get vaccinated and never face the threat of a failing memory or the slow death of Alzheimer’s disease. As a nation we will save 18 million people over the age of 65 from this threat, approximately 400,000 per www.lexingtonfamily.com
year with such a preventive strategy. Isn’t it about time we marshal our resources and make this futuristic prediction a reality now? I really don’t need a braincomputer interface, a flying car or a colony on the moon. What I do need is for even just one of my patients to beat this disease and survive. My prayers and wishes are for the future I dream of now, to break the horizon, creating the dawn of a world without Alzheimer’s disease. Then, and only then, I might think about that flying car…

J
anice Hall, 56 years old and only a few months removed from triple bypass surgery, sits in an orientation session for the Ornish Reversal Program offered by KentuckyOne Health in Lexington. KentuckyOne Health – the only hospital in Kentucky to offer the program since Medicare started paying for it in 2010 – had asked Hall to be one of the state’s first participants.
T
he program, started by Dean Ornish, a California physician, has for nearly four decades been one of the most successful treatments for cardiac patients. During the orientation, Hall learns about the success of the program but also cringes when she hears about the method. One part of the program is a stringent diet that bans meat, fish, poultry, caffeine and even chocolate, for Hershey’s sake. How does Hall feel about this special opportunity? Terrified. She leans to her husband, Tim, and says, “No meat. I can never do that. I’m going to fail.” But Hall overcame her fears and in March 2016 joined the nine-week
14
program that calls for 18, four-hour, twice-weekly sessions. She attended every session with about a dozen other heart patients. She exercised, did yoga and drew support from her fellow participants. She even followed the strict diet. And it helped that her husband followed the diet with her. The result of the nine-week program? Hall has lost 20 pounds, her blood pressure has dropped to near-normal levels, she is no longer pre-diabetic and she feels great. “I loved it,” Hall said of the program. “I was pleasantly surprised, and I’m not even tempted to eat meat. “I like the exercise. I’m not a yoga person but I liked the stress reduction part of the program.”
P
articipants in the Ornish Reversal Program experience a complete lifestyle change. To participate, people must have suffered a heart attack, undergone bypass, stent or valve surgery within the past year, suffer from chronic angina, had a heart transplant or other cardiac condition. The program is founded on four principles: diet, stress reduction, exercise, and love and support. And participants practice each principle at every class – they eat, exercise, mediate or do yoga and hold a support group meeting. In the food section, participants eat a meal and learn about the diet and how to eat healthy. To reduce stress, instructors lead people through yoga, breathing techniques and meditation. Patients then exercise for 30 minutes and conclude the session in a support group. The participants in each group form strong bonds and often continue to meet after the program ends.

GETTING STARTED
N
ine-week Ornish Reversal Program sessions start monthly at KentuckyOne Health, which also offers open house informational sessions the first Monday of the month, 6-7:30 p.m. and the third Wednesday of the month, 10-11:30 a.m. Those sessions are at the KentuckyOne Health Healthy Lifestyle Center at Saint Joseph Office Park, 1401 Harrodsburg Road, Suite A 480 in Lexington. In December, those open houses are Monday, Dec. 5 and Wednesday, Dec. 21. Info: (859) 313-4793 or visit www.kentuckyonehealth.org/ornish.
D
r. Steve Lin, a cardiologist for 16 years and director of Cardiac Rehabilitation at KentuckyOne Health since 2008, at first doubted the Ornish program. In 2015, he and his Lexington rehab team were trained in the program in San Francisco. “I was not on board right away,” Dr. Lin said. “I thought it would be a waste of
www.lexingtonfamily.com
time.” The medical professionals fully immersed themselves in the classes. They followed the diet, exercised and learned to reduce stress. Dr. Lin became a believer, quickly realizing the program was more than a mere diet but a path to a healthy lifestyle. Testimonials from Ornish patients at the training also helped convince him.
In its first year in Lexington, the program has exceeded expectations. Participants have lost an average of 20 pounds and have reduced their cholesterol. “The results have been fantastic,” Dr. Lin said. “We’ve had 64 participants, and we’re 64-0. That’s better than even Coach Calipari’s record,” he joked. Participants become happier, more energetic and form strong relationships with their group-mates. The graduation at the end of 18 sessions is a powerful moment. “Graduation is one of the most gratifying experiences in my practice,” Dr. Lin said. “People cry tears of joy. They see results that they never expected.” For people like Hall, the Ornish Reversal Program seemed impossible, but the classes give patients the support base and the knowledge they need to succeed. “If you’re like me, a meat and potatoes Kentucky girl, give it a try,” Hall said. “The way they do it, you want to stick with it. You see the benefits.” Y

inding the right care for your loved ones can be difficult, even at the best of times. Knowing the “lingo” of elder care housing can make choosing the right community much easier. (For more information, please see Housing Guide, facing page.)
Independent Living Independent Living communities are for older adults who are able to function without supervision or personal assistance. Many communities offer services such as meals, transportation, social and recreational activities and housekeeping. Residents are usually required to sign a one-year lease. Factors to consider include terms of the lease agreement, costs for extra services, services offered on site (exercise room, library, etc.), transportation, housekeeping and social activities.
Assisted Living Assisted Living is similar to Independent Living communities but with additional services, including assistance with activities of daily living (bathing, dressing, personal care and medication reminders). Some long-term care insurance policies cover the cost of Assisted Living. Factors to consider include certification, staffresident ratio, housekeeping, transportation, shopping and laundry services.
Personal Care Generally smaller than Assisted Living communities, Personal Care facilities are licensed by the state, provide 24hour supervision under nurse monitoring, meals, assistance with daily activities of living and medication management. Factors to consider are similar to Assisted Living.
Skilled Nursing Care This level of care, which is licensed by the state, is most appropriate for individuals needing 24-hour supervision and health care. Individuals who are in need of rehabilitation after a hospital stay may be discharged to a nursing home for temporary care. Skilled Care may be covered by Medicare and Medicaid. Questions: Are the residents well groomed? How many beds are certified for Medicare? For Medicaid? What are the results of annual state inspections (or surveys)? Are residents encouraged to exercise their rights as outlined by the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Law?
In-Home Services People staying at home as long as possible may need assistance with activities of daily living such as housekeeping, laundry, shopping and even companionship. Many local businesses provide in-home services such as skilled nursing, help with medications and more.

THE MATCH GAME
Investment Strategies Should Meet Your Current Needs
By Jason Veinot
I
often ask people to give me an idea of their ideal investment plan. A few years ago, one gentleman provided the most honest answer I ever heard. “I just want something that will guarantee me from any risk, make at least 10% a year, provide guaranteed income without affecting my balance, and pay no fees or taxes,” he said. This is what we all want, right? Investment strategies are essentially a trade-off. If you want more growth, you must accept more risk. If you need income now, you may sacrifice growth, and so on. I sit across from people all the time who are frustrated with their investments. The reason? All too often their investment strategies don’t match their goals. An investor who wants high growth potential and relies on conservative investments is doomed to disappointment. Likewise, those looking for a safe income stream should avoid risky growth investments. Let’s look at it this way. Say a hunter has three types of arrows – one for long distances, another for accuracy and a third for speed. The hunter’s situation will determine which arrow he chooses. If he accidentally grabs the wrong arrow, he might miss his goal. Is it the arrow’s fault? Of course not. Blame it on the hunter. This is how people should think about their investment products. First, determine what need the investment is designed to fill, and, second, decide if that selection is in line with your expectations and goals. Investment products trade off certain advantages to achieve others based on their purpose. Example:

For younger adults looking to grow assets annuities might not be the best match. But for those facing imminent retirement, annuities could provide the right fit. they’re not suitable for everyone they have their place for some investors like all other investments. Many annuities are designed as a means of securing a steady cash flow during a person’s retirement years while helping to alleviate fears of outliving one’s assets. There are, of course, fees and charges
different needs and each must give up something to get something. Knowing this, you may want to consider combining the advantages and disadvantages from multiple approaches to achieve your goals. Remember, be clear about your goals and find the investment strategy that best fits those needs. Y

What follows is a comparison.
1. A will must be probated in court. A trust does not require courts. 2. Probating a will takes from six months to two years or more. There is No Delay with a trust. 3. Probate costs for a will can be very steep. There are No Costs settling a trust. 4. A will is of no help if you become incapacitated. The WILL only takes effect when you die. 5. A trust eliminates the need for guardianship and takes effect when you sign and place all your assets into the trust. 6. Probating a will is open for public review. A trust is absolutely private. 7. Probate of a will is under Court Control. Settling a Trust is under Family Control. 8. What is a living trust? A legal document that contains your instructions about what happens to your assets after you die or are incapacitated. It avoids probate and appoints the person you trust to take care of your assets before you die and after you die. 9. Is it difficult to transfer assets into a trust? No. Your attorney will do that for you and it takes very little time and effort. 10. Can I change beneficiaries, trustees and other provisions during my lifetime? Of course. You can change any provision during your lifetime: beneficiaries, trustees and the amount you intend to bequeath to each of them. 11. Living Trusts have been used for hundreds of years and anyone who owns real estate and other assets to leave to their children or heirs should
have a Living Revocable Trust. 12. What if I become disabled? The Trust provides a method of appointing your designated Trustee to become successor Trustee on your behalf without Court interference. The Trustee then can take over your financial affairs with just one doctor’s statement. 13. The Trust is effective after your death in that it can provide for children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews until they reach the age (25 or older) you designate for them to have your assets while providing for their education, welfare and health. 14. A Revocable Living Trust is the best way to plan for a complete estate plan which starts immediately upon its signing. Included in the Trust Estate Plan are the following: 1. Revocable Trust 2. A pourover Will for items that escaped being titled to the Trust. 3. Durable powers of attorney for your loved ones. 4. Health powers of attorney (living wills) 5. Instructions for you and your successors 6. Your chance to write your obituary. 7. A statement as to your burial wishes and persons to be notified of your demise. 8. Form letters for your trustee to use in settling the estate. Prepared By: Walter C. Cox, Jr. / 2333 Alexandria, Lexington, KY 40504 Info: 514-6033 or email at wclaycox2@gmail.com.
WILL vs. TRUST Why a Living Trust is the Best Option
Have A Trust (No Probate)
Have A Will (Probate)
A Living Trust is the fail proof way to pass along your estate to your heirs without lawyers, courts or the probate system.
Probate is the system that removes the name of a deceased person from the assets. • All claims, real or imagined, must be settled to the court’s satisfaction. • Probate takes time...many months or even years • Probate costs money...4% to 8% of estate value is not uncommon • Probate is public record • A will is of no help if you become incapacitated Please call 859-514-6033 or fill out this form for a FREE consultation in our office:
