the twilight years that will follow. Clearly, many baby boomers have not planned ahead appropriately and they may be forced to pay a hefty price. The wise course of action is to devise a cogent plan for the future with the assistance of a licensed and experienced attorney who has a background in elder law, retirement planning, and estate planning. Your lawyer will gain an understanding of your retirement and legacy goals, evaluate what is realistically possible for you, and create a cogent plan that leads to the fruition of these goals. If you go forward living in the moment without expert guidance, you may be among the many who will never be able to retire.
