There's no better way to mark Elder Law Month than by spending it with colleagues who care deeply about Minnesota's aging families.

Last week, Everbright Legacy Law was proud to participate in the 2026 Medical Assistance Conference hosted by Minnesota CLE. Lauren Fink served as Conference Co-Chair and presented a breakout session on using QDROs and LLCs to improve asset treatment. Noble Simpson joined a plenary panel on litigation lessons in Medical Assistance law. Cassie Iverson led a breakout session on preparing Medical Assistance applications, where a single missing document can change everything.

Elder Law Month is a reminder of why this work matters. Every conversation, every case, and every application helps a family access the care they need with dignity. We're grateful to learn alongside others committed to the same goal.

Pick a family safe word. Use it any time someone calls claiming to be a family member in trouble. If the caller cannot say the word, the call is not real. It is free. It takes a minute. And it stops a scam category that costs families thousands every year.
