2010 Elder Law Institute

The 2010 Elder Law Institute was held on October 7 & 8, 2010, at the Minnesota CLE Conference Center in downtown Minneapolis.  The Keynote Speaker was Gene Coffey, attorney with the National Senior Citizens Law Center in Washington, D.C., who spoke on how the new health care reform legislation impacts seniors.  The program included fifteen specialized breakout sessions (including 1.0 hours of ethics credit and 2.0 hours of elimination of bias credit.)  Topics of “short shots” and other plenary sessions included UTMA, Veterans Homes, veterans benefits, Elderly Waiver, federal estate taxes, and local efforts in advance care planning.  A “Basics” track was also offered, including sessions on Medical Assistance eligibility, Medical Assistance estate recovery, and navigating a guardianship/conservatorship petition.
