Not everyone is blessed with capable, responsible children willing to serve as Trustee :) What can tutu do if she loves those grandbabies but doesn’t really trust any of them to serve in this very important role? This week’s podcast features the expert guidance of Malia Alexander from Maximum Legal Services Corporation, a company that serves as a professional Trustee, Personal Representative, Power of Attorney, and Health Care Agent. Malia shares about MaxCorp and its evolution from the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii to its current status as a standalone nonprofit dedicated to offering professional fiduciary services. Join us as we learn about the unique approach MaxCorp takes in integrating licensed attorneys and social workers to provide comprehensive support to their clients. MaxCorp will serve as Trustee of special needs trusts, a more complicated task because beneficiaries often receive government benefits such as Medicaid or are living with disabilities. Malia offers insights into the intricacies of managing Medicaid applications and asset spend-downs, providing you with practical advice on navigating these often-complicated processes. Through MaxCorp's story, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how their dedicated team ensures compliance with trust terms and safeguards beneficiaries' interests. In this episode, you will hear: How does MaxCorp integrate legal and social services in its trustee offerings? What role do corporate trustees play in managing special needs trusts? How can early estate planning prevent complications and ensure smoother administration? What are the benefits of having a neutral third-party trustee to manage potential conflicts? How does MaxCorp handle Medicaid applications and asset spend-downs for beneficiaries? Why is it important for families to engage with potential trustees like MaxCorp before a crisis occurs?

015: Chelsea Fernandez and the Importance of Connection for Maui Veterans 27:18

منذ عام واحد27:18

27:18

This week on the Taking Care of Tutu Podcast, we are delighted to welcome Chelsea Fernandez, U.S. Army Veteran and tireless volunteer for veterans. Born on the Big Island, Chelsea moved to Maui after she returned from Iraq in 2005. Recognizing that many younger veterans—especially those from recent conflicts—weren’t aware of the resources available to them through the VA and other community organizations, Chelsea felt it was crucial to bridge this gap and provide support to veterans returning home. Chelsea noted that younger veterans often don’t identify as veterans because they don’t fit the traditional image of older veterans. She wanted to create a space where younger veterans could feel understood and supported by their peers. Chelsea founded Na Koa Kahiko Wahine, a women’s veterans group that celebrates its 10th year this year. The organization brings together women from various military eras, focusing on shared experiences and challenges that women face both in the military and when transitioning back to civilian life. The group offers a sense of camaraderie and support to women veterans, providing opportunities to connect and share experiences. Chelsea serves as president of the Maui County Veterans Council, which helps organize events to honor Veterans Day and Memorial Day and also supports other veteran organizations. She works with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and has served on the Governor's Advisory Board for the Office of Veterans Services. Her motivation stems from her grandfather's service in the Korean War. Earlier this year, Chelsea played a pivotal role in bringing us the Wall That Heals, in which a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial was brought to the Big Island and Maui. She tells us all about how they got the wall here and how it was viewed by 13,000 people! Chelsea offers multiple avenues for veterans to connect with support groups, including through the Maui County Veterans email, the Office of Veteran Services, and the Student Veterans Lounge at the University of Hawaii Maui College. She encourages veterans to make the most of opportunities to meet others who share similar experiences. This sense of community and camaraderie is crucial, even if veterans do not need specific services right away. In this episode, you will hear: Why don’t some younger veterans seek out support? What is Na Koa Kahiko Wahine? What is the role of the Maui Veterans Council, the VFW, and the Governor’s Advisory Board in assisting veterans? What is the Wall That Heals, and how were we so lucky to get it to Maui? What are some ways for veterans to seek out support?

014: Pastor Bill Staton Advocates for Maui Vets 59:18

منذ عام واحد59:18

This week we welcome Pastor Bill Staton, a retired veteran and veterans’ services counselor on Maui, to the podcast. Originally, Bill’s job was helping veterans navigate the complex systems of veterans’ financial benefits. However, Bill quickly realized the need to advocate for the holistic needs of veterans returning from conflicts and their families. Bill talks about challenges faced by veterans, including an ingrained military culture of not complaining, which can make it difficult for many veterans to ask for help. We discuss how the perseverance of the Nisei veterans and their families reshaped perceptions of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Bill addresses the ongoing reluctance among Gulf War veterans to seek support. Bill breaks down the various benefits available to our veterans, including the important question of where to begin. We cover medical care through the Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, long term care, burial services, support groups, and education under the GI Bill. Pastor Bill Staton’s candid observations reflect a deep commitment to advocate on behalf of our veterans. In this episode, you will hear: Evolution of veteran services from financial applications to holistic support Nisei veterans' impact on PTSD perception and compensation Challenges Gulf War veterans face in seeking PTSD support Overview of veteran benefits, including medical care, compensation, burial, long term care Importance of tailored support for National Guard and Reserve members Note: Bill observed in the interview that when he was working, Hale Makua Health Services did not have a contract with the VA due to a difference in pharmacy packaging. We reached out to Hale Makua and were happy to learn that they do now have a contract with the VA, and residents are able to fill prescriptions with the VA if they choose.

What happens if tutu loses the capacity to make her own decisions? Who can make those decisions for her? In this solo episode of the Taking Care of Tutu podcast, we review what happens if tutu has not made prior legal arrangements, such as a power of attorney or an advance health-care directive. Specifically, we’ll discuss the process of filing a court case to establish a Conservatorship and/or Guardianship in Hawaii. Like always, we’ll remind you of why it’s better to have legal arrangements in place before you need them to avoid court proceedings. In this episode, you will hear: What is a Conservatorship and Guardianship in Hawaii, and who needs one? What can we do now to avoid Conservatorships and Guardianships? What is the legal process to petition for a Conservatorship and Guardianship? What are the duties of a court-appointed Guardian or Conservator? Can they do whatever they want without notifying the Court? (Spoiler Alert: No!) Role of Hawaii's Office of the Public Guardian for individuals without a support network Emergency orders for Guardianship or Conservatorship in urgent situations, such as fraud Follow and Review: We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
