Comments Off on An (Award Winning!) History of Rhode Island Guardianship Laws
This is just a quick follow-up to a post I shared back in May about an article I wrote on the evolution of guardianship in Rhode Island, which was published in the Rhode Island Bar Journal.
And now, on to the main point of today’s post. An expanded, full-length version of that article has now been published in the Summer 2016 issue of the Roger Williams University Law Review.
From the dark period beginning in the 1700s to the present day provisions, the 35-page article provides an in-depth look at the evolution of guardianship laws in our state, and in particular, the grounds for the initiation of a guardianship proceeding and the procedural rights of the individual for whom the guardianship is sought.
Comments Off on My Latest CLE Now Available as Webinar On Demand
A couple weeks ago I was pleased to speak at a CLE on Current Developments in Medicare and Medicaid for Long-Term Care offered by the Rhode Island Bar Association.
Two seniors members of the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, Jennifer Wood, Esq. and Deborah George, Esq., and I shared an under-used technique to enable clients to obtain extended access to the Medicare Part A skilled nursing home benefit.
We also discussed changes in the structure and procedures at the Rhode Island Offices of Health and Human Services (OHHS) and the Department of Human Services (DHS) and how to assist clients with Medicaid applications.
As reported by the RI Bar Association, the CLE was very well-attended, with the in-person presentation and live webinar each drawing more than 70 participants.
If you missed the live presentation, the On Demand webinar is now available; details are below.
