Hosts: Louis Pierro with Special Guests NYS Senator Shelley Mayer, Bob Vandy of Advisors Insurance Brokers and Howard Krooks of Cozen O’Connor
This Saturday on Life Happens Radio, we’re tackling one of the biggest challenges facing families today: how to afford quality long-term care that supports independence and preserves assets.
Host Lou Pierro welcomes New York State Senator Shelley Mayer, representing the 37th District in Westchester County, who is championing legislation to create a “Long Term Care Trust” program — a public-private benefit designed to offer more accessible and sustainable care solutions. The Senator will explain how her plan would work.
Also joining the show are Bob Vandy, President of Advisors Insurance Brokers, and Howard Krooks, an elder law attorney based in Florida. Bob will break down how life insurance, hybrid products, and traditional long-term care insurance are evolving to meet today’s needs. Howard will give you a unique national perspective on promising long-term care options and proposals.
Lou will connect the dots on how these options work within a strong estate plan — one that protects your loved ones and your legacy. And he’ll tell you about a conference on May 15 when Bob, Shelley and Howard will be speaking about the topics we’re exploring on this radio show.
