A New York-focused introduction to elder law planning

Peter Rogatz’s book introduces key parts of elder law planning for New Yorkers, including long-term care insurance, Medicaid eligibility, protecting a home and other assets, and the documents that can form part of a plan. It explains basic concepts and outlines tools that may be relevant as people consider aging and care needs. The description explicitly frames it as a first step toward understanding the process, not as a do-it-yourself legal guide. Its subject is practical and jurisdiction-specific, so the New York focus is central to its scope.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • New Yorkers beginning to learn about elder law planning
  • Older adults and families considering long-term care and asset planning
  • Readers seeking an introductory overview rather than a do-it-yourself legal guide

Book overview

Listen to Lawrence if you are Planning to Keep It, is exactly as its subtitle states: An explanation of Elder Law Planning for New Yorkers. Clear and concise with some humor sprinkled in to offset this sometimes daunting topic, the book covers five major concepts:

∙ the role and importance of long-term care insurance
∙ the role and importance of Medicaid eligibility
∙ planning to save your home and other assets
∙ other important documents for your elder law plan and will and trust add-ons you may need.

Lawrence Davidow, a New York Elder Law Attorney, who was one of the first to concentrate in this area on Long Island, explains the basic concepts of Elder Law Planning and then presents the tools available to best deal with these challenges.

This is not a do-it-yourself guide to Elder Law Planning, but itis the first step to understanding what may come along with the process of aging and learning about the different solutions that could be used to protect and preserve dignity, independence, assets and the emotional wellness of everyone involved.

"Lawrence, you took the time to explain our options and answer all our questions in a way that we could truly understand, and for that, we thank you." -J.G. Babylon

The "Listen to Lawrence" model where Lawrence Davidow educates and enlightens his audiences has grown from local Listen to Lawrence seminars to a widely distributed electronic newsletter (The Listen to Lawrence Letter) that answers commonly asked questions to a Listen to Lawrence podcast series and now this Listen to Lawrence book.
