"It is important for individuals and family caregivers to get accurate information when developing an estate and long term care plan" says Tatiana Fassieux, HICAP Program Manager. "Equally important is to revisit the plan every 5 years, because laws change as well as family circumstances", adds Fassieux. Too often people attend workshops presented by insurance agents or out-of-town financial planners who may not have up-to-date information, and may have questionable intentions.
