Ep128: Helping People Help Others with Geoff Hoatson

Today on the Book More Show, we're talking with Geoff Hoatson, elder law lawyer at Family First Firm in Altamonte Springs, Florida and author of Next Stop: Nursing Home, a book that helps people who are looking to protect their wealth, inheritance, and utilize Medicaid for nursing home and specialist support.

Geoff's business is in an interesting position because a lot of the time, the people they're talking to and trying to engage the family members of an older relative who are in a difficult position and need that full-time care. So although their clients are ultimately the patient, the person needing care, the conversation starts with the family members.

This is a fascinating conversation about how they help by revealing options people aren't aware of, all while keeping a balanced approach to their client and the family member who may be asked to make decisions.

I really enjoyed catching up with Geoff, and it's great to hear his thoughts on how a book is making a difference in helping people help their families preserve wealth.
