Founder of The Elder & Disability Law Firm, Victoria L. Collier, on Second Opinions

Certified Elder Care Attorney, Victoria Collier encourages establishing the habit of getting a second opinion regarding the area of life that is right up there with physical health – financial health and wellbeing.

Decatur, GA, March 24, 2017: Victoria L. Collier, founder of The Elder & Disability Law Firm, has posted a new blog on her law firm’s website entitled “Have You Gotten a Second Opinion for Your Long-Term Financial Health?” Ms. Collier reviews the benefits of getting a second opinion for financial health.

Victoria CollierCollier writes, “We are so accustomed to seeking a second opinion for our physical health, yet how many people seek a second opinion when it comes to long-term financial health?” She adds, “In my experience, not many do.”

According to Collier, “Financial health is second only to our physical health as we age.” She further elaborates, “If you have great physical health your financial needs may be required to extend well beyond your income producing years. Currently, the average life expectancy for men and women in the U.S. has reached the mid-80s and the Social Security Administration estimates that one in four 65-year-olds will live into his or her 90s.”

If, on the other hand, you have unlimited means and poor health, you may not be quite so concerned. However, that is more the exception than the rule.
