I have just come to another milestone in my life. My oldest son (10) decided that he will no longer be calling me "Daddy", but that I am forever more to be referred to as "Dad." As
school kids are wont to do, my son was teased by a classmate for calling his parents "Mommy and Daddy". To conform to the bully's wishes my son just made me middle aged. I'm Massachusetts most recent middle aged lawyer father. I was a twenty something and had been enjoying my thirty somethings when this came out of the blue. In my elder law practice I am asked by
prospective clients about what is and what is not elder law. Some fifty somethings ask whether they can 'qualify' to use my services for a trust or a will, while some octogenarians don't feel old enough to seek services meant for the elderly, after all "they're old people." What it all comes down to is that age is a state of mind. I tell my elder law clients that how old you think you are is so much more important than how old you are according to your birth certificate. If you need assistance with Medicaid or a will or trust you just need legal help, it's not a question of being elderly. When you need Medicaid or an estate planning attorney you can call me (781-729-0313) and, you can call me 'Daddy'.
