Ferndale –
Gay Elders of Southeastern Michigan (GESEM), a newly founded organization for LGBT older adults, presents a seminar on legal and financial issues for LGBT seniors, Sept. 27.
The seminar, with facilitating attorneys Tim Cordes, Henry Gix, Molly Giles and Amanda Shelton, will answer questions such as "What happens if I die without a will?" and "Should I get a reverse mortgage?" GESEM invites all members of the community to bring their legal and financial questions. GESEM is a new organization and a potential pre-cursor to a local chapter/affiliate of the national organization Services and Advocacy for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Elders (SAGE).
