Mr. Krooks, a partner of Elder Law Associates PA with offices throughout Southeast Florida, is admitted to practice law in New York and Florida. Mr. Krooks is of counsel to Amoruso & Amoruso, LLP, in Rye Brook, New York. Mr. Krooks splits his time between New York and Florida, where his professional practice is devoted to elder law, trusts, and estate matters, including representing seniors and persons with special needs and their families in connection with asset preservation planning, supplemental needs trusts, Medicaid, Medicare, planning for disability, guardianship, wills, trusts, and health care planning with advance directives.
Mr. Krooks is certified as an elder law attorney by the National Elder Law Foundation and is a past president of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA; 2013–2014).

There will also be both intermediate sessions and advanced sessions, as well as ELDRS' own experts, including a special plenary session presented by Sanford Mall and Joseph Anderson, MD. Join Sandy and Dr. Anderson as they discuss a range of issues related to surrogate medical decision making under Michigan law. Topics to be covered include: types of conflicts that arise between doctor and patient surrogate; frequency in which these issues arise; how hospitals work to resolve conflict; identification of surrogate with legal authority; when probate court should be considered; when is a doctor not required to take a directive from a patient advocate; and how do DNRs and POST fit in with a patient advocate designation and/or advanced directives?
