Making Alzheimer’s Disease Just A Memory


Good news about Alzheimer’s Disease comes out almost every day. This is because the Alzheimer’s Association and others are contributing to new and better research. You can help in the fight against Alzheimer’s too. Adamsky Law Offices has put together a team for Memory Walk 2007. The walk will take place on September 30, 8:30 AM, at Boarding House Park in Lowell.

Memory Walk is the major fund-raising event of the Alzheimer's Association. It’s a fun stroll through historic downtown Lowell. You can raise funds and not even walk if you like, just join in the party at Boarding House Park. Since 1993, Memory Walk in Massachusetts has raised more than $6 million to help over 140,000 individuals battling Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. More than $1.3 million alone was raised last year.

Our team is looking for more members to walk with us (and/or raise funds) and we are looking for donations. You can help us out in several ways. Mail your donation check to our office (269 Middlesex Road, Tyngsboro, MA 01879 – made payable to the Alzheimer’s Association.) Go to our Team Adamsky Law Offices page and make an online donation by credit card. Join our team – call or stop by our office for a sign-up form, or join our team online – and get pledges and donations from your family and friends. Please join us in making Alzheimer’s Disease just a memory.


September 30, 8:30 AM

It's really Spring!

It's clearly Spring around here.  On the way to work this morning I saw several groups of Turkeys.  In each group there was at least one male presenting his tail for the females.  This looks like the classic picture you see of a Turkey around Thanksgiving with his big tail unfurled like a peacock.  But, you won't see that in November, it is courting behavior used in the Spring to find a mate.  Imagine if we humans had some sort of mating system like that.  The males puff themselves up, furl out their tails and strut around waiting for a female to find them attractive ... that would be something  ... oh, wait!

4 Planning Tips for Parents of Disabled Children

Buy enough life insurance . You can’t be replaced, but someone will have to fill in if you aren’t there. Your family will probably have to pay for some services that you used to provide. You can provide the money necessary, even if you don’t have much now, with life insurance. Set up a trust . Any assets left for a child with special needs, including life insurance proceeds, should be held in trust. Leaving money directly to someone with a special need jeopardizes public benefits. Some families disinherit children with special needs, relying on siblings to care for them. This approach is fraught with potential problems. The best approach is a trust fund set aside for the child with special needs. Write down the care plan . You must write down what a future caregiver will need to know about your special needs child. You may know everything but you need to write it down so it can be passed on. The memo or letter can be kept in the attorney's files or with the parent's estate plan...

Clifton B. Kruse, Jr., Leading Elder Law Attorney, Dies at 74

Clifton B. Kruse , Jr., a revered elder law attorney who was admired as much for his kindness and generosity to fellow practitioners as for his grasp of the law, died December 30, 2008, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. He was 74. The cause was complications from Alzheimer's disease. For many in the field, Kruse set the standard for all that an elder law attorney can and should be. One of elder law's founding fathers, he combined a gentlemanly charm, warmth and caring with one of the sharpest and most ethical of legal minds. Wrote Arizona elder law attorney Robert Fleming in a tribute , "In my third of a century of elder law practice I have never met another lawyer who managed to pull together sophistication, heartfelt empathy, intellectual rigor and courtly manner in the same fashion Clifton Kruse projected. He did it, to all appearances, effortlessly. He was a friend and mentor to many in the elder law community (I count myself among those legions)." Kruse was the e...
