In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Victor Medina. Victor is the owner of Medina Law Group, based in New Jersey. During the interview we cover Estate Planning and Elder Law. He helps us understand the importance of these services and why they are vital to any financial plan, especially when it comes to degenerative conditions such as Dementia or Alzheimer’s.
So, sit back, pop open a bottle of your favorite wine, or maybe one of the recommended wines below and enjoy the episode. Victor and I had a fantastic conversation and I’m sure you will find his insight into this topic engaging and informative. And thank you for listening!
