The fastest growing segment of the population of the United States is the elderly. In 1950, 8.1% of Americans were age 65 or older. In 2020, that age group is expected to comprise 17.5% of the population. Traditional courses on wills, trusts, and estate planning largely focus on after-death issues. This course will deal with the legal issues generated by increased life expectancy. These issues include age discrimination in employment, housing options, financing medical care, limiting the medical care provided to that desired, and ensuring control of financial affairs.
