The National Council on Aging provides a website, www.benefitscheckup.org, that identifies more than 2,000 government and private benefits programs for those over the age of 55.

For more information about elder law and estate planning, contact Attorney Lisa M. Vanden Heuvel or Attorney Daniel R. Dineen at 1-800-805-1976.
