{Video} Interview with Orlando (Winter Park) Attorney on Estate Planning, Wills, and Power of Attorney

by Michele Moon

Simply downloading a legal form from the Internet and expecting it to be - or remain - valid can be a dangerous proposition.

As Orlando real estate agents who specialize in helping seniors downsize, sell a house, and prepare to move into more manageable housing, we at Estate Conversions regularly work with other professionals who provide important services for Orlando seniors or their caregiver families.

I had a chance to sit down for a few minutes and chat with Orlando attorney Rachel Alvarez to discuss a wide variety of legal issues that impact Central Florida baby boomers, senior citizens, and their family caregivers.

In this video segment we specifically talk about the often misunderstood attributes of a power of attorney. For example, did you know that a power of attorney goes into effect immediately in the state of Florida?

Rachel discusses how you can protect yourself, the different types of power of attorney (like financial or health), and the importance of ensuring that your power of attorney is structured to be legally sound.

Rachel's law office is located in Winter Park, Florida and she specializes in Real Estate, Asset Protection, and Estate Planning, among other areas of practice.

As Orlando real estate agents who specialize in helping seniors downsize, sell a house, and prepare to move into more manageable housing, we at Estate Conversions regularly come across other people who are providing some unique and first-class services for Orlando seniors or their caregiver families.

The Estate Conversions Team: Specializing in Home Sales for Orlando Adults 55+

I recently had the pleasure of spending time with Holly Jennings who - along with her business partner Carrie Vick - are the driving force behind Premier Senior Consultants, an Orlando company that provides a free service that many people probably don't even know is available to them.

If you're an older adult or the family caregiver of a senior citizen and need to learn more about the process of moving into a Central Florida independent living or assisted living community (often commonly referred to as retirement communities) Holly, Carrie, and Premier Senior Consultants can be of extraordinary assistance.

And, as mentioned above, their service is free to you: the senior or family member. Holly and Carrie both hold extensive experience as administrators and executives within the senior housing industry. Now, they've started their own business to utilize that knowledge and provide a concierge/consultant service to seniors or their families.

Here's how Holly and Carrie explain their assistance:

The Premier Process begins with a personal interview to gather information with family member(s) and the future resident. This is to ensure each potential community meets the expectations and requirements we have identified.

Next, we will tour each Senior Living Community by your side, supporting the process from start to finish. Our goal is to ensure each future resident will be welcomed, cared for and safe in their new home.

Our service is at NO COST to you and the fee is paid by the community after the resident has successfully transitioned to their new home.

Many thanks to Holly, Carrie, and Premier Senior Consultants for being a part of the effort to make finding the right senior housing in Orlando an easier and more intuitive process for all involved!

Lisa D’Aloise and Michele Moon are Recognized for Expertise in Senior Housing and Late-in-Life Transitions

Oviedo, FL, January 31, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Prestigious Real Estate and Senior Housing Certification Reflects Knowledge of Distinct Market and Passionate Commitment to Service

Online Press Release

Having recently completed a rigorous two-day curriculum, Lisa D’Aloise Real Estate Consultant and Michele Moon Senior Move Coach with the Estate Conversions Team at Keller Williams Advantage Realty have achieved the prestigious Certified Senior Housing Professional (CSHP) designation from the Seniors Real Estate Institute.

Awarded only to a select number of real estate professionals in any market, the CSHP designation equips senior housing professionals to serve the distinct needs of seniors and their families with an unsurpassed level of compassion, expertise and connectedness.

Demographic shifts and improvements in life expectancy have given rise to senior housing options that far exceed those of previous decades. CSHPs are not only in touch with the full range of options within their communities, they have the specific skills needed to help seniors to get where they want to go – unraveling the complexities involved in downsizing and selling a family home.

“Despite the fact that seniors are the fastest growing segment of the population, this segment of the market remains largely underserved,” noted Nikki Buckelew, Founder and President of the Seniors Real Estate Institute.

Buckelew, who has a graduate degree in gerontology, pointed to the fact that 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn 60 every day for the next 18 years. At the other end of the senior spectrum, the 90-plus segment of the population nearly tripled over the past three decades, and is expected to quadruple over the next 40 years.

“Professionals such as Lisa and Michele have a clear vision of how the real estate market is evolving,” Buckelew added. “As such, they have sought out the training, the resources, and the access to trusted experts within the Orlando market, in order to serve senior clients and their families at a high level.”

“This expertise, combined with a passion to ensure the dignity of elderly clients, is not just a benefit to seniors and their families,” Buckelew emphasized. “It’s a profound asset to the entire community.”
