Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. Addresses a Titanic Problem: Millvina Dean

New York Law Firm Blog  

BBC news recently reported that Millvina Dean, the 96 year old last survivor of the Titanic, will be auctioning off mementos she has kept from the ill fated voyage.  While the prospect of owning a piece of history no doubt has many collectors swooning, the reason for the sale gave the attorneys of the law firm of Leeds Morelli & Brown P.C. pause.  Ms. Dean is selling the relics because she needs the money to fund her care in a nursing home.            

Nobody likes to think about getting old and no longer being able to care for themselves.  The sad reality is that as medical technology improves and life spans increase, many people may find themselves in Ms. Dean’s place some day.  All through out New York from Nassau, Suffolk, Brooklyn, Manhattan, to the Bronx, and Queens more and more assisted living and nursing homes are opening.  This is why it is becoming more and more critical to contact an attorney and properly set up a plan to preserve your assets.
