Westchester Elder Law Attorney Anthony J. Enea Launches New Blog

Elder law attorney Anthony J. Enea, managing partner of Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP in Somers and White Plains, N.Y., is pleased to announce the launch of the Westchester County Elder Law Blog (westchesterelderlawblog.wordpress.com). The new blog offers timely and relevant information for seniors and their loved ones on a variety of legal topics from elder law to estate planning.

“Educating seniors and their families on the need for advanced planning is something I feel is extremely important,” said Mr. Enea, immediate past chair of the New York State Bar Association’s Elder Law Section. “My clients frequently come to me when they (or their loved ones) are on the verge of losing everything – which can, in many cases, amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets.

“There are a number of planning options available, yet many in or approaching their elder years remain in the dark,” explained Mr. Enea. “My goal with this blog is to provide seniors with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their future.”

Named Westchester County’s Leading Elder Care Attorney at the 2013 Above the Bar Awards, Mr. Enea has spent three decades protecting the rights of seniors, the disabled and their families. His practice areas include elder law; Medicaid planning and applications; special needs planning; wills, trusts and estates; guardianships and estate litigation.
