legal planning Preparing for the future and the unexpected

JENNIFER HOGELAND

great deal of time and effort goes into financial planning throughout our lifetime — saving and investing to enjoy retirement — but thought also needs to go into estate planning. While everyone has heard about the importance of a will, other legal documents, and discussions, become just as important with age. Understanding how to protect your assets now, as care needs change and in the future, requires some consideration. Area attorneys present options to get the conversation started.

Try to avoid probate

Fred Schmidt, attorney at Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C. in Green Bay, explains when he meets with a new client, he evaluates each situation individually. “I start by asking, ‘What are your goals? What is it that’s motivating you to talk about your estate?’” Ross Kornowske, attorney at Gerbers Law, S.C. in Green Bay, says an attorney will often begin by reviewing a client’s assets and then discuss probate avoidance techniques. Schmidt reveals there are three primary reasons for wanting to avoid probate: privacy, timing and expense. “There are plenty of ways to go about circumventing the pains and costs of probate,” says Kornowske. This includes completing the appropriate legal documents to protect your estate.

File a transfer on death deed

A transfer on death deed allows you to retain

ownership and control over your property. A beneficiary is named and upon death the property transfers to the individual named. “We like to suggest a transfer on death deed, especially for your homestead,” says Kornowske. “This removes what is likely your largest asset from your estate.” Bank accounts and other assets may also be set up to transfer on death.

Consider a trust

A trust is another way to protect assets. A revocable trust keeps the assets within an individual’s estate, while an irrevocable trust moves assets out of the estate. An irrevocable trust has tax benefits. Kornowske explains an owner may put property into an irrevocable trust, making themselves the beneficiary of the trust. Upon their passing, the property will pass onto a trustee without probate. “It is important to make sure the person named as the trustee is someone close to you,” adds Kornowske.

Establish a durable power of attorney

A durable power of attorney designates someone to make financial, tax and legal decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. Schmidt suggests completing a power of attorney is a critical part of an estate plan. Kornowske explains the agent named in the durable power of attorney will have access to designated bank, stock and retirement accounts or the document could be drafted to

be broad enough to cover all accounts. It is effective upon signature. A springing power of attorney will not “spring into action” until you become incapacitated.

Create an advanced healthcare directive

An advanced healthcare directive outlines your wishes if you become incapacitated or unable to make medical decisions. Schmidt explains the document describes the treatments you want — or don’t want — to receive, providing clarity and guidance to loved ones.

Remember the will

A will identifies who will receive your personal property. This document helps avoid disagreements over your estate after you’re gone. Kornowske suggests including burial directives in the will.

Be thorough

Estate planning documents are only beneficial if they are current and outline your wishes. “One of the things that is important is making sure your beneficiaries are correct,” says Schmidt. “We can also run into unintended income tax requirements — these are things we always talk about when meeting with clients.” “No one can predict the future, so we encourage proper planning to help protect your assets so your beneficiaries will be able to enjoy them,” adds Kornowske. Visit an attorney for more details on estate planning and to determine what legal documents best fit your needs. GREEN BAY PRESSGAZETTE

eating on the go

Make healthy choices a priority during your vacation

ummertime months bring with them plenty of opportunity to travel, whether it is to see grandchildren and friends, visit our national monuments and parks, or time away at the cabin. Given the time on the road and new, enticing restaurants along the way, it’s easy allow our diet concerns and regimes get away from us. But, as explained by Deb Guenterberg, registered dietitian nutritionist at Prevea Health, it’s crucial for many seniors to stick to what the doctor has suggested for you – especially for those with 4 | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017

MEGHAN DIEMEL health concerns. “A ‘diet’ for a health concern can’t be considered a part-time endeavor,” she said. “… Of course, it is enticing to go on vacation and let go of healthy habits, but many patients find that if they stick to their normal healthy choices during vacation, they are more apt to pick right up where they left off. If they abandon their healthy diet, then it is far more difficult to pick up their healthy habits.” For those with health concerns who don’t

abide by their diet, Guenterberg said the consequences can be greater than a few extra pounds. “One specific diet that comes to mind is low sodium,” she furthered. “A patient may need to follow this plan for either high blood pressure or for congestive heart failure (CHF). Simply falling of the diet plan while on vacation can lead to swelling in the legs, more difficulty breathing or other concerns. It is best to stick to their normal healthy diet continued on page 5

routines.” Lee Hyrkas, RD, CD at Bellin Health, said one of the biggest reasons all vacationers should stay on track with healthy eating is that just one to two meals out can lead to the consumption of two to three days worth of added sugar, fat and salt. “And for those individuals who may not be on a meal plan going into vacation, even just doing healthier choices during that time can help reinforce new eating habits and that can be a really big motivator for when you’re not on vacation,” he said. “It shows the individual that if they can do it while they’re on vacation, they can do this while they are at home as well.” Planning ahead will help keep vacationers on track, said Guenterberg. “If you have a long trip planned or just a short one, it is best to be ready with healthy snacks,” she stated. “Think of the bulk bins located in larger grocery stores. You can purchase small amounts of nuts, seeds, granolas, etc., and have a nice variety. You are in charge of the portions this way and you may

and ask for it before your meal, avoid the bread and butter plates, and choose water for your beverage. If you don’t like plain water, then choose an herb tea or black coffee. “Our brains do not calculate liquid calories like calories from food,” she stated. “The result is if you choose a 150-200 calorie beverage with your meal, you will still eat the same amount of food. These extra calories from drinks can add up and cause weight gain.” Hyrkas says that if you feel like splurging on a snack or a meal, make healthy choices during the rest of your day. “If 80 percent of the day you’re doing well and you leave yourself that little room for maybe the nighttime meal or that snack to have your favorite treat, I think that could be a good choice for a lot of individuals,” he said. “Pick the days you know you’re going to be very active, like going to the zoo or a theme park where you’re walking a lot, and schedule a treat meal or treat snack in for that day, knowing you’re probably going to burn it off during the course of the day,” he added. ✦

find some new healthy snacks that you never tried before.” Travelers have a lot of options these days, explained Hyrkas, and many travel centers and gas stations have stepped up their games with healthy options available. “Usually I recommend people to first look for protein-rich foods when they’re looking for snacks,” he said. “That just helps with fullness and prevents us from overeating when we get to that evening meal later in the day. Foods that are going to be richer in protein are string cheese, Greek yogurts, and they even have those cottage cheese cups now. And most nuts and seeds and even some trail mixes, as long as they are not too heavy into candy, can be a good choice as well.” Also look at the fiber rich foods they have on hand, he added, like the fruits and veggies. Many times they come with hummus, or you can use the yogurt cup to dip the food in if you want something tastier. When it comes to ordering in restaurants, Guenterberg offers a few tips. Choose broth soup over cream soup, order a small salad

Brain Games: Do apps and puzzles increase the health of our brains? MEGHAN DIEMEL

ith the advent of apps that allow users to play any number of “brain games” on our smartphones, tablets and computers, there are also the claims by app makers that using brain game apps can improve or even circumvent age-related cognitive decline. But, as medical professionals caution, the science does not support the claims at this time. “It’s a hot area of investigation,” said Dr. James Napier, neurologist at Aurora BayCare Medical Center. “There is a recent publication that looked at 36 trials of cognition rehabilitation in dementias, using puzzles and sudoku and those types of exercises. Twentyfour are positive and 12 were negative. So, we don’t know that it actually helps. There is literature to support it, but we’re not sure who specifically benefits from it. It appears that whatever benefit it is, is probably limited in a widespread population.” Kathryn Dykes, a nurse practitioner specializing in geriatric medicine and evaluating and treating dementias and memory loss with Prevea Geriatrics, said our brains are vulnerable to many damaging problems that threaten our quality of life. Though there isn’t a “magic bullet” to guarantee we won’t lose our memory, get Alzheimer’s disease or have a stroke, there are things that people can do to reduce their risk of developing symptoms of a brain disease in their lifetime. “Being physically active is important to reduce cardiovascular risk factors and the resulting cognitive deficits that accompany dementia and strokes,” she stated. “Arthur Kramer, University of Illinois, 1999, was one of the first who reported that seden6 | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 14, 2017

tary people scored higher on tests requiring executive function if they began a daily walking program. People who exercise have healthier cardiovascular systems, enabling blood to get to all areas of the brain, reducing even microscopic damage that can cause problems with cognition.” Keeping one’s brain health involves more than just circulation and physical exercise, she added. Diet, social engagement, and cognitive activity (“brain exercise”) are also important factors in maintaining brain function. Dr. Napier agreed and cited a recent study done in the United States. “There is an interesting program in UCLA that looks at doing 35 interventions for Alzheimer’s disease,” he explained. “And they have looked at the size of the hippocampus, which is a pretty good indicator for Alzheimer’s. When they have tried to do this panel of 35 things — among them cognitive retraining, like learning to play an instrument

and trying to learn a new language, increased socialization, and reading novels — they were able to achieve the size of the hippocampus in some cases to go from 8 percent of what was normal back to 88 percent of what was normal. There is something there.” It’s his opinion that complex learning opportunities, like those hosted by universities for seniors, make a greater impact rather than the testing or brain games offered by apps. Dykes added that developing a “bucket list” of new hobbies, such as learning to dance, to play a musical instrument, and taking up art, writing, carpentry or sewing, can help maintain brain health. And as Dr. Napier and Dykes mentioned, nutrition and socialization are theorized to be the remaining parts of the equation. The most recent recommendation for a brain-healthy diet is the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay, or MIND diet. Meanwhile, social engagement is important to brain health and fitness and is often combined with mentally and physically stimulating activities to make them more interesting and effective, explained Dykes. Perhaps the moral of the story is to play the brain game apps for fun and as a challenge, but don’t expect miracles. Don’t spend all day playing the games, either, stressed Dykes. “These games can be addicting,” she said. “Try to limit yourself to one hour at a time, no more than twice daily for an average amount of time. Use the rest of your day to use your brain and your body together, [like] learning to dance, go for a walk with friends, learn to play a musical instrument, [or] take a class with friends.” GREEN BAY PRESSGAZETTE

Selecting, booking and enjoying travel by boat JENNIFER HOGELAND

magine yourself in a boat, gliding across beautiful blue water, visiting several tropical destinations or European hotspots. The sites and the experiences had on one cruise would require planning several vacations if traveling by plane. If you’ve always dreamed of taking a cruise, but were unsure you’d enjoy the getaway, worry no more. Area travel experts reveal what senior travelers need to know before booking.

Travel considerations

“One of the most important things to consider is the destination — cruises go just about everywhere,” says Linda Peterson, independent vacation specialist for Cruises, Inc. in Green Bay. Kelly Van Scoyk, owner of Paradise Travel in Green Bay, says there are two types of cruises: mass cruises with ships that hold thousands of people and river cruises that transport a few hundred. She explains large ships may be at sea for two days before stopping at a destination, while a river cruise may be docked at a destination most of the day and travel the scenic river in the evening.

The next consideration is the time of year. Peterson reveals some destinations only sail at certain times. If visiting Alaska is on your bucket list, plan to cruise between May and September. To avoid hurricane season, book your Caribbean cruise in the winter or spring. There will be more families traveling over spring break and in the summer, so the ships will be louder. “I believe there is a cruise for everyone because there are so many destinations and things to do,” adds Peterson.

Boat perks

One of the best perks of taking a cruise is only having to unpack your suitcase once, yet you visit several amazing places. “It’s a great way to experience different destinations. You might port in St. Lucia, get back on the ship and then go to Puerto Rico and you didn’t have to repack your suitcase,” says Van Scoyk. “You can experience different destinations and after you’ve had a taste of it can decide if you want to go back someday.”

Cruise concerns

Worried about motion sickness? There are products available to ease symptoms, such as motion sickness patches, anti-nausea pills and Acuband wrist bands. “If you are concerned about motion sickness, I’d recommend booking a state room mid-ship. To accommodate special requests, you need to book early,” says Peterson. Van Scoyk recommends starting with a three- or four-day cruise rather than booking a week or more on a boat. She also warns cruising is not for those that have trouble with confinement and sharing spaces. And, don’t book a vacation on a large ship and expect to spend a lot of time at the pool—the pools are small. continued on page 9

Before booking

Confirm the ship can handle any special needs. Be sure handicap cabins are available and ask if you’ll be able to easily move around the decks. “The type of cruise you choose is important if you have mobility issues — you may have trouble on some excursions, so ask questions before booking,” says Van Scoyk. “Also, be sure your needs are noted in your reservation.” Inquire about senior discounts. Also consider cruises that cater to your age group. Be aware of hidden costs on cruise ships. Unlike all-inclusive resorts, cruises charge for

beverages unless you purchase a package. Tipping is strongly encouraged. Accessing the internet often costs extra. “Do your homework from home, because if you try to do it from the ship it will cost you,” adds Van Scoyk. Peterson encourages all travelers to plan for the unexpected and purchase insurance. “You never know what life might bring,” she adds. Travel insurance covers trip interruption, medical emergencies and more. Peterson recommends arriving to your port a day before departure. “You don’t want to risk missing your cruise. It’s always good to plan an extra day at least so when you get on the ship you’re relaxed, not rushing and arriving at the last minute,” she concludes. ✦
