In this episode of Advice From Your Advocates, Elder Law Attorney Bob Mannor and Certified Dementia Practitioner Savannah Meksto team up to bust some of the most common myths in estate planning & elder law—and offer real-life advice for families caring for a loved one with dementia.

From “I have a will, so I’m all set” to misunderstandings about Medicaid penalties and asset transfers, Bob and Savannah tackle the legal misconceptions that can lead families astray. They also share actionable caregiving tips to help reduce burnout, create routines, and build a supportive care environment.
