Kristin spoke about the particular estate planning issues relevant to elders and disabled individuals as well as accessing MassHealth and other programs that allow individuals to stay in their homes as long as possible. Kristin was joined by fellow panelists, Diane Savastano, a health advocate and founder of Healthassist, Martha Payne, a financial planner at Baystate Financial and Janet Benventuri, who wrote "Don't Give Up On Me! Supporting Aging Parents Successfully."
