Hauptman & Hauptman Interviewed On CBS News
Hauptman & Hauptman, guiding families through life’s transitions.
- Newark, NJ (1888PressRelease) February 19, 2020 - Yale S. Hauptman, Founding Partner, and Laurie A. Hauptman, Partner, Hauptman & Hauptman, PC., were featured during a segment on CBS 2 News where they discussed the importance of planning ahead for long-term care.
The segment, led by reporter Lisa Rozner, highlighted cases of early on-set dementia as seen in adults as young as 42 years old. Yale and Laurie discussed the overwhelming expenses associated with long-term care. “It gets very expensive, it can be $150,000 a year or more,” explained Yale.
The Hauptmans recommended families begin considering long-term care insurance as early on as the age of 40, since it may provide coverage for unforeseen crises that health insurance and Medicare do not cover.
Laurie advised that, “Everyone over the age of 18 needs to have a power of attorney, a health one, a healthcare power of attorney and a financial one.” She continues the thought by stating, “Putting a legal plan into place is vital as you never know when long-term care may be needed.”
