Happy Work Anniversary to Attorney Katie Casey, who joined Janna Dutton (the first elder law attorney in Illinois) 15 years ago.
Her contribution in the areas of Elder Law, Estate Planning, Probate, Guardianship, and Special Needs Panning benefits the individuals she serves. Our firm, Dutton Casey & Mesoloras, is wide reaching and offers compassion and expertise to all of our clients.
Not only do our attorneys offer educational programs for community members and healthcare professionals, they educate other attorneys. On October 29, Kathryn Casey & Helen Mesoloras are presenting "The SECURE Act and Planning with Retirement Benefits."
This session is offered in conjunction with the Elder Law Short Course through Illinois Institute for Continuing Legal Education.

Adequate legal planning for aging well involves more than just making a Will. As you age, it helps to have the proper documents in place, especially when those documents are designed to help and protect you and your family. This session will focus on the legal planning necessary to age well.
