For the past seven years, Mr. Okrent has served as the coordinator and opening presenter for the Suffolk County Bar Association’s Annual Elder Law and Estate Planning Update, a full‑day program attended by attorneys, paralegals, and members of the judiciary.
He begins the program each year with a comprehensive review of current developments and anticipated changes in Elder Law, Medicaid, Medicare, taxation, and related emerging issues—including topics such as Medical Aid in Dying. His presentation sets the foundation for a day of advanced learning and practical guidance.
The program features a distinguished roster of speakers, including prominent Judges—such as the Surrogate of Suffolk County and a Federal Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York—along with the Deputy Director of the New York State Office for the Aging and other highly regarded practitioners.
The event is consistently well received, drawing strong attendance and positive feedback from the legal community. Below you will find Mr. Okrent’s materials prepared for this year’s program.
